More quotes by Samuel Beckett
To-morrow, when I wake, or think I do, what shall I say of to-day?
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
Estragon: I'm like that. Either I forget right away or I never forget.
Samuel Beckett
That desert of loneliness and recrimination that men call love.
Samuel Beckett
How do you manage it, she said, at your age? I told her I'd been saving up for her all my life.
Samuel Beckett
Ah, the old questions, the old answers, there's nothing like them!
Samuel Beckett
In the landscape of extinction, precision is next to godliness.
Samuel Beckett
To him who has nothing it is forbidden not to relish filth.
Samuel Beckett
My mistakes are my life.
Samuel Beckett
It was the only way to progress, to stop.
Samuel Beckett
Dublin university contains the cream of Ireland: Rich and thick.
Samuel Beckett
Sometimes I wonder if I'm in my right mind. Then it passes off and I'm as intelligent as ever.
Samuel Beckett
Not to want to say, not to know what you want to say, not to be able to say what you think you want to say, and never to stop saying, or hardly ever, that is the thing to keep in mind, even in the heat of composition.
Samuel Beckett
If by Godot I had meant God I would have said God, and not Godot.
Samuel Beckett
The blind have no notion of time. The things of time are hidden from them too.
Samuel Beckett
We are not saints, but we have kept our appointment. How many people can boast as much?
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 tears of the world are a constant quantity. For each one who begins to weep, somewhere else another stops. The same is true of the laugh.
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
They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more.
Samuel Beckett
