Quote by Eugene Ionesco
No society has been able to abolish human sadness, no political sy

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
