Samuel Beckett
Love requited is a short circuit.
Samuel Beckett
The human eyelid is not teartight (happily for the human eye).
Samuel Beckett
Yes, I dont know why, but I have never been disappointed, and I often was in the early days, without feeling at the same time, or a moment later, an undeniable relief.
Samuel Beckett
Perhaps my best years are gone. When there was a chance of happiness. But I wouldn't want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn't want them back.
Samuel Beckett
I can't go on. I'll go on.
Samuel Beckett
An imaginative adventure does not enjoy the same corsets as reportage.
Samuel Beckett

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

Samuel Beckett
If by Godot I had meant God I would have said God, and not Godot.
Samuel Beckett
Deplorable mania, when something happens, to inquire what.
Samuel Beckett
To-morrow, when I wake, or think I do, what shall I say of to-day?
Samuel Beckett
Don't look for meaning in the words. Listen to the silences.
Samuel Beckett
We are not saints, but we have kept our appointment. How many people can boast as much?
Samuel Beckett

Come, let's get to work! (He advances towards the heap, stops in his stride.) In an instant all will vanish and we'll be alone more, in the midst of nothingness!
Samuel Beckett
Vladimir: Did I ever leave you? Estragon: You let me go.
Samuel Beckett
Yes, there were times when I forgot not only who I was but that I was, forgot to be.
Samuel Beckett
I knew it would soon be the end, so I played the part, you know, the part of — how shall I say, I don’t know.
Samuel Beckett
God is a witness that cannot be sworn.
Samuel Beckett
