Eugene O'Neill

The greatest tragedy in life is not to be loved.

The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable.

We are all alone in this world.

The only thing that matters is truth.

The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

There is no meaning in life, only the meaning we create.

The only way to be free is to be bound.

The world is a prison, and we are all inmates.

The greatest gift in life is love.

The truth is a weapon, and it can kill.

We are all searching for something, but we don't know what it is.

None of us can help the things life has done to us. They’re done before you realize it, and once they’re done they make you do other things until at last everything comes between you and what you’d like to be, and you’ve lost your true self forever.

Stammering is the native eloquence of us forlorn lovers.

We are born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

Life is for the living, and a man should die while he is alive.

The old--like nature--should have their season and be done with.

God is a Mother. Proud you were born to her, but she is a cruel mother, Eugene.

Man is born broken. He lives by mending. The grace of God is glue.

Be on the watch for the pipe dreamers. They're always the ones who'll let you down.

I must say that I am far from convinced that the truth, however ugly, is always preferable to beauty.
