66Three quotes by Eugène Ionesco99

Eugène Ionesco (born Eugen Ionescu, 26 November 1909 - 28 March 1994) was a Romanian playwright who wrote mostly in French, and one of the foremost figures of the Theatre of the Absurd. Beyond ridiculing the most banal situations, Ionesco's plays depict in a tangible way the solitude and insignificance of human existence.

❝It isn't what people think that's important, but the reason they think what they think.❞ [+]
