Samuel Beckett
Don't touch me! Don't question me! Don't speak to me! Stay with me!
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
The human eyelid is not teartight (happily for the human eye).
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
Don't look for meaning in the words. Listen to the silences.
Samuel Beckett
It was the only way to progress, to stop.
Samuel Beckett
Vladimir: Did I ever leave you? Estragon: You let me go.
Samuel Beckett
Hardly had the glow been kindled by some good deed on your part or by some little triumph over your rivals or by a word of praisefrom your parents or mentors when it would begin to cool and fade leaving you in a very short time as chill and dim as before.
Samuel Beckett
The only thing you must never speak of is your happiness.
Samuel Beckett
Never but the one matter. The dead and gone. The dying and going. From the word go.
Samuel Beckett
Dear incomprehension, it's thanks to you I'll be myself, in the end.
Samuel Beckett
