That penny farthing hell you call your mind
Samuel Beckett
Yes, there is no denying it, any longer, it is not you who are dead, but all the others. So you get up and go to your mother, who thinks she is alive. That's my impression. But now I shall have to get myself out of this ditch. How joyfully I would vanish here, sinking deeper and deeper under the rains.
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
Vladimir: I don't understand. Estragon: Use your intelligence, can't you? Vladimir uses his intelligence. Vladimir: (finally) I remain in the dark.

Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
Don’t wait to be hunted to hide, that was always my motto.
Samuel Beckett
Two in distressmake sorrow less.
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
What goes by the name of love is banishment, with now and then a postcard from the homeland, such is my considered opinion, this evening.
Samuel Beckett
Deplorable mania, when something happens, to inquire what.
Samuel Beckett
We are all born crazy. Some remain that way.
Samuel Beckett
There's never an end for the sea.
Samuel Beckett
For in me there have always been two fools, among others, one asking nothing better than to stay where he is and the other imagining that life might be slightly less horrible a little further on.
Samuel Beckett
Never but the one matter. The dead and gone. The dying and going. From the word go.
Samuel Beckett
It was long since I had longed for anything and the effect on me was horrible.
Samuel Beckett
The bicycle is a great good. But it can turn nasty, if ill employed.
Samuel Beckett
Enough to know no knowing.
Samuel Beckett
