More quotes by Samuel Beckett
Enough to know no knowing.
Samuel Beckett
The end is in the beginning and yet you go on.
Samuel Beckett
Then I went back into the house and wrote, It is midnight. The rain is beating on the windows. It was not midnight. It was not raining.
Samuel Beckett
I could not have gone through the awful wretched mess of life without having left a stain upon the silence.
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
Yes, light, there is no other word for it.
Samuel Beckett
Where am I, I don't know, I'll never know, in the silence, in the silence you don't know, you must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on.
Samuel Beckett
But at this place, at this moment of time, all mankind is us, whether we like it or not. Let us make the most of it, before it is too late!
Samuel Beckett
Abode where lost bodies roam each searching for its lost one.
Samuel Beckett
We all are born mad. Some remain so.
Samuel Beckett
The tears stream down my cheeks from my unblinking eyes. What makes me weep so? There is nothing saddening here. Perhaps it is liquefied brain.
Samuel Beckett
It's a rare thing not to have been bonny-- once.
Samuel Beckett
I gave up before birth.
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
We are all born crazy. Some remain that way.
Samuel Beckett
And all these questions I ask myself. It is not in a spirit of curiosity. I cannot be silent. About myself I need know nothing. Here all is clear. No, all is not clear. But the discourse must go on. So one invents obscurities. Rhetoric.
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
Nothing happens. Nobody comes, nobody goes. It's awful.
Samuel Beckett
We always find something, eh Didi, to let us think we exist?
Samuel Beckett
What do I know of man's destiny? I could tell you more about radishes.
Samuel Beckett
