Pirandello:"A man will die, a writer, the instrument of creation: but what he has created will never die! "


And to be able to to live for ever you don't need to have extraordinary gifts or be able to do miracles.
Who was Sancho Panza? Who was Prospero? But they will live for ever because - living seeds - they had the luck to find a fruitful soil, an imagination which knew how to grow them and feed them, so that they will live for ever." (from Six Characters in Search of an Author, 1921)

"Blessed is he who can stop halfway and before old age comes on can marry illusion and preserve it lovingly," Pirandello wrote in 1887 in a letter of his future plans.
