Beauty is a precious trace that eternity causes to appear to us and that it takes away from us. A manifestation of eternity, and a sign of death as well. – Eugene Ionesco
Ideologies separate us. Dreams and anguish bring us together. – Eugene Ionesco
There is no religion in which everyday life is not considered a prison there is no philosophy or ideology that does not think that we live in alienation. – Eugene Ionesco
There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to realize myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have succeeded, this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is realizable. Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is. – Eugene Ionesco
The stern hand of fate has scourged us to an elevation where we can see the great everlasting things which matter for a nation — the great peaks we had forgotten, of Honor, Duty, Patriotism, and clad in glittering white, the great pinnacle of Sacrifice pointing like a rugged finger to Heaven. – David Lloyd George
