More quotes by Samuel Beckett
I know those little phrases that seem so innocuous, and, once you let them in, pollute the whole of speech. 'Nothing is more real than nothing.' They rise up out of the pit and know no rest until they drag you down into its dark.
Samuel Beckett
Love requited is a short circuit.
Samuel Beckett
It sometimes happens and will sometimes happen again that I forget who I am and strut before my eyes, like a stranger.
Samuel Beckett
All I know is what the words know, and dead things, and that makes a handsome little sum, with a beginning and a middle and an end, as in the well-built phrase and the long sonata of the dead.
Samuel Beckett
What are we doing here, that is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in the immense confusion one thing alone is clear. We are waiting for Godot to come
Samuel Beckett
I pause to record that I feel in extraordinary form. Delirium perhaps.
Samuel Beckett
The reality of the individualis an incoherent reality and must be expressed incoherently.
Samuel Beckett
Habit is a compromise effected between the individual and his environment, or between the individual and his own organic eccentricities, the guarantee of a dull inviolability, the lightning-conductor of his existence.
Samuel Beckett
Decidedly it will never have been given to me to finish anything, except perhaps breathing. One must not be greedy.
Samuel Beckett
In my head there are several windows, that I do know, but perhaps it is always the same one, open variously on the parading universe.
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
But I know what darkness is, it accumulates, thickens, then suddenly bursts and drowns everything.
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
Unfathomable mind, now beacon, now sea.
Samuel Beckett
That desert of loneliness and recrimination that men call love.
Samuel Beckett
In the landscape of extinction, precision is next to godliness.
Samuel Beckett
Unhappy, but not unhappy enough.
Samuel Beckett
No painting is more replete than Mondrian's.
Samuel Beckett
We are not saints, but we have kept our appointment. How many people can boast as much?
Samuel Beckett
Don’t wait to be hunted to hide, that was always my motto.
Samuel Beckett
