The end of childhood is when things cease to astonish us. When the world seems familiar, when one has got used to existence, one has become an adult. – Eugene Ionesco
Ideologies separate us. Dreams and anguish bring us together. – Eugene Ionesco
No society has been able to abolish human sadness, no political system can deliver us from the pain of living, from our fear of death, our thirst for the absolute. It is the human condition that directs the social condition, not vice versa. – 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
