Eugene Ionesco Quotes
Ever Since I Was Fifteen, That Is To Say From That Moment When I Lost All That Was Left Me Of My Childhood, From The Moment When I Ceased To Be Aware Of The Present And Knew Only The Past Hurrying Into The Future, That Is To Say Into The Abyss, Ever Since I Became Fully Conscious Of Time I Have Felt Old And I Have Wanted To Live. I Have Run After Life As Though To Catch Time, And I Have Tried To Live. I Have Run After Life So Much That It Has Always Escaped Me, I Have Run, I Have Never Been Late And Never Too Early, And Yet I Have Never Caught Up With It: It Is As Though I Have Run Alongside Of It.
What Is Life, I May Be Asked. For Me, Life Is Not Time; It Is Not This State Of Existence, For Ever Escaping Us, Slipping Between Our Fingers And Vanishing Like A Ghost As Soon As You Try To Grasp It. For Me It Is, It Must Be, The Present, Presentness, Plenitude. I Have Run After Life So Much That I Have Lost It.
