Eugène Ionesco quotes
Eugène Ionesco was a Romanian-French playwright, widely regarded as one of the founders of the Theatre of the Absurd. His works explore the futility of language and the absurdity of human existence. He became a major influence in 20th-century drama with iconic plays like "The Bald Soprano" and "Rhinoceros." Here are 80 of his quotes:
We moved back to Romania when I was thirteen, and my world was shattered. I hated Bucharest, its society, and its mores - its anti-Semitism for example. I was not Jewish, but I pronounced my r's as the French do and was often taken for a Jew, for which I was ruthlessly bullied.... It was the time of the rise of Nazism and everyone was becoming pro-Nazi - writers, teachers, biologists, historians ... It was a plague! They despised France and England because they were yiddified and racially impure.
