More quotes by Samuel Beckett
But I know what darkness is, it accumulates, thickens, then suddenly bursts and drowns everything.
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
The blind have no notion of time. The things of time are hidden from them too.
Samuel Beckett
The time is perhaps not altogether too green for the vile suggestion that art has nothing to do with clarity, does not dabble in the clear and does not make clear, and more than the light of day (or night) makes the subsolar, -lunar, and -stellar excrement. Art is the sun, moon, and stars of the mind, the whole mind.
Samuel Beckett
God is love. Yes or no? No.
Samuel Beckett
Nothing is more real than nothing.
Samuel Beckett
Don’t wait to be hunted to hide, that was always my motto.
Samuel Beckett
Sloth is all passions the most powerful.
Samuel Beckett
In the landscape of extinction, precision is next to godliness.
Samuel Beckett
All has not been said and never will be.
Samuel Beckett
Words fail, there are times when even they fail.
Samuel Beckett
Yes, in my life, since we must call it so, there were three things, the inability to speak, the inability to be silent, and solitude, that’s what I’ve had to make the best of.
Samuel Beckett
The time-state of attainment eliminates so accurately the time-state of aspiration, that the actual seems the inevitable, and, all conscious intellectual effort to reconstitute the invisible and unthinkable as a reality being fruitless, we are incapable of appreciating our joy by comparing it with our sorrow.
Samuel Beckett
The bicycle is a great good. But it can turn nasty, if ill employed.
Samuel Beckett
We have time to grow old. The air is full of our cries. But habit is a great deadener.
Samuel Beckett
Two in distressmake sorrow less.
Samuel Beckett
Let's go. We can't. Why not? We're waiting for Godot.
Samuel Beckett
Words are all we have.
Samuel Beckett
I say me, knowing all the while it's not me.
Samuel Beckett
What do I know of man's destiny? I could tell you more about radishes.
Samuel Beckett
