Il fu Mattia Pascal / Novelle per un anno / I vecchi e i giovani Quotes

“It's this way: when you're really wise, you say: 'I mustn't do this,' or 'I mustn't do that—otherwise ... I'll be putting my foot in it.' Very well, you discover, sooner or later, that life itself means putting one foot in after another; and the man who never made a fool of himself is the man who never really lived; and there you are!”
― Luigi Pirandello, Il fu Mattia Pascal / Novelle per un anno / I vecchi e i giovani
