Samuel Beckett
Light black. From pole to pole.
Samuel Beckett
Habit is a compromise effected between an individual and his environment.
Samuel Beckett

The whacks, the moans, the cracks, the groans, the welts, the squeaks, the belts, the shrieks, the pricks, the prayers, the kicks, the tears, the skelps, and the yelps.
Samuel Beckett
Over, over, there is a soft place in my heart for all that is over, no, for the being over, words have been my only loves, not many.

Samuel Beckett
Nothing happens. Nobody comes, nobody goes. It's awful.
Samuel Beckett
Habit is the ballast that chains the dog to his vomit.
Samuel Beckett
Clear to me at last that the dark I have always struggled to keep under is in reality my most
Samuel Beckett
I marshalled the words and opened my mouth, thinking I would hear them. But all I heard was a kind of rattle, unintelligible even to me who knew what was intended.
Samuel Beckett
The bicycle is a great good. But it can turn nasty, if ill employed.
Samuel Beckett
We wait. We are bored. (He throws up his hand.) No, don't protest, we are bored to death, there's no denying it. Good. A diversion comes along and what do we do? We let it go to waste. 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
