* Ma se il valore e il senso universalmente umano di certe mie favole e di certi miei personaggi, nel contrasto com’egli dice, tra realtà e illusione, tra volto individuale ed immagine sociale di esso, consistesse innanzi tutto nel senso e nel valore da dare a quel primo contrasto, il quale per una beffa costante della vita, ci si scopre sempre inconsistente, in quanto che, necessariamente purtroppo, ogni realtà d’oggi è destinata a scoprircisi illusione domani, ma illusione necessaria, se purtroppo fuori di essa non c’è per noi altra realtà? Se consistesse appunto in questo, che un uomo o una donna, messi da altri o da se stessi in una penosa situazione, socialmente anormale, assurda per quanto si voglia, vi durano, la sopportano, la rappresentano davanti agli altri, finché non la vedono, sia pure per la loro cecità o incredibile buonafede; perché appena la vedono come a uno specchio che sia posto loro davanti, non la sopportano più, ne provan tutto l’orrore e la infrangono o, se non possono infrangerla, se ne senton morire? Se consistesse appunto in questo, che una situazione, socialmente anormale, si accetta, anche vedendola a uno specchio, che in questo caso ci para davanti la nostra stessa illusione; e allora la si rappresenta, soffrendone tutto il martirio, finché la rappresentazione di essa sia possibile dentro la maschera soffocante che da noi stessi ci siamo imposta o che da altri o da una crudele necessità ci sia stata imposta, cioè fintanto che sotto questa maschera un sentimento nostro, troppo vivo, non sia ferito così addentro, che la ribellione alla fine prorompa e quella maschera si stracci e si calpesti?
