More quotes by Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
But it seems impossible to speak and yet say nothing, you think you have succeeded, but you always overlook something.
Samuel Beckett
To have been always what I am - and so changed from what I was.
Samuel Beckett
But I know what darkness is, it accumulates, thickens, then suddenly bursts and drowns everything.
Samuel Beckett
[T]he syndrome known as life is too diffuse to admit of palliation. For every symptom that is eased, another is made worse. The horse leech's daughter is a closed system. Her quantum of wantum cannot vary.
Samuel Beckett
James Joyce: His writing is not about something. It is the thing itself.
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
Yes, there were times when I forgot not only who I was but that I was, forgot to be.
Samuel Beckett
They never lynch children, babies, no matter what they do they are whitewashed in advance.
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
God is love. Yes or no? No.
Samuel Beckett
It's a rare thing not to have been bonny-- once.
Samuel Beckett
The creation of the world did not take place once and for all time, but takes place every day.
Samuel Beckett
I had seen faces in photographs I might have found beautiful had I known even vaguely in what beauty was supposed to consist. And my father's face, on his death-bolster, had seemed to hint at some form of aesthetics relevant to man. But the faces of the living, all grimace and flush, can they be described as objects?
Samuel Beckett
in reality we are one and all from the unthinkable first to the no less unthinkable last glued together in a vast imbrication of flesh without breach or fissure
