 The attempt to devote oneself to literature alone is a most deceptive thing, and often, paradoxically, it is literature that suffers for it. |
| The tragedy of modern man is not that he knows less and less about the meaning of his own life, but that it bothers him less and less. |
| Isn't it the moment of most profound doubt that gives birth to new certainties? Perhaps hopelessness is the very soil that nourishes human hope; perhaps one could never find sense in life without first experiencing its absurdity. |
| Modern man must descend the spiral of his own absurdity to the lowest point; only then can he look beyond it. It is obviously impossible to get around it, jump over it, or simply avoid it. |
| Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out. |
| I think theatre should always be somewhat suspect. |
| Hope is a feeling that life and work have meaning. You either have it or you don't, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you. |
