More quotes by Samuel Beckett
All has not been said and never will be.
Samuel Beckett
My keepers, why keepers, I'm in no danger of stirring an inch, ah I see, it's to make me think I'm a prisoner, frantic with corporeality, rearing to get out and away.
Samuel Beckett
Never but the one matter. The dead and gone. The dying and going. From the word go.
Samuel Beckett
Art has nothing to do with clarity, does not dabble in the clear and does not make clear
Samuel Beckett
Love requited is a short circuit.
Samuel Beckett
I shall state silences more competently than ever a better man spangled the butterflies of vertigo.
Samuel Beckett
Yesterday is not a milestone that has been passed, but a daystone on the beaten track of the years, and irremediably part of us, within us, heavy and dangerous. We are not merely more weary because of yesterday, we are other, no longer what we were before the calamity of yesterday.
Samuel Beckett
Unfathomable mind, now beacon, now sea.
Samuel Beckett
I say me, knowing all the while it's not me.
Samuel Beckett
I have always been amazed at my contemporaries’ lack of finesse, I whose soul writhed from morning to night, in the mere quest of itself.
Samuel Beckett
Unhappy, but not unhappy enough.
Samuel Beckett
Habit is a compromise effected between an individual and his environment.
Samuel Beckett
In the name of Bacon will you chicken me up that egg. Shall I swallow cave-phantoms?
Samuel Beckett
When the object is perceived as particular and unique and not merely the member of a family, when it appears independent of any general notion and detached from the sanity of a cause, isolated and inexplicable in the light of ignorance, then and only then may it be a source of enchantment.
Samuel Beckett
To every man his little cross. Till he dies. And is forgotten.
Samuel Beckett
I don't know why I told this story. I could just as well have told another. Perhaps some other time I'll be able to tell another. Living souls, you will see how alike they are.
Samuel Beckett
Don't touch me! Don't question me! Don't speak to me! Stay with me!
Samuel Beckett
Deplorable mania, when something happens, to inquire what.
Samuel Beckett
My notes have a curious tendency, as I realize at last, to annihilate all they purport to record.
Samuel Beckett
Don't look for meaning in the words. Listen to the silences.
Samuel Beckett
