More quotes by Samuel Beckett
You are not satisfied unless form is so strictly divorced from content that you can comprehend the one without almost without bothering to read the other.
Samuel Beckett
Try again. Fail again. Try better.
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
There is no escape from yesterday because yesterday has deformed us, or been deformed by us. The mood is of no importance. Deformation has taken place.
Samuel Beckett
My work is a matter of fundamental sounds (no joke intended) made as fully as possible, and I accept responsibility for nothing else. If people want to have headaches among the overtones, let them. And provide their own aspirin.
Samuel Beckett
To every man his little cross. Till he dies. And is forgotten.
Samuel Beckett
It is useless not to seek, not to want, for when you cease to seek you start to find, and when you cease to want, then life begins to ram her fish and chips down your gullet until you puke, and then the puke down your gullet until you puke the puke, and then the puked puke until you begin to like it.
Samuel Beckett
My mistakes are my life.
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
There's never an end for the sea.
Samuel Beckett
Deplorable mania, when something happens, to inquire what.
Samuel Beckett
Nothing matters but the writing. There has been nothing else worthwhile... a stain upon the silence.
Samuel Beckett
We are not saints, but we have kept our appointment. How many people can boast as much?
Samuel Beckett
It was the only way to progress, to stop.
Samuel Beckett
What are we doing here, that is the question.
Samuel Beckett
I say me, knowing all the while it's not me.
Samuel Beckett
It is better to adopt the simplest explanation, even if it is not simple, even if it does not explain very much. A bright light is not necessary, a taper is all one needs to live in strangeness, if it faithfully burns.
Samuel Beckett
To-morrow, when I wake, or think I do, what shall I say of to-day?
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
The end is in the beginning and yet you go on.
Samuel Beckett
