More quotes by Samuel Beckett
Words and images run riot in my head, pursuing, flying, clashing, merging, endlessly. But beyond this tumult there is a great calm, and a great indifference, never really to be troubled by anything again.
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
Yes, light, there is no other word for it.
Samuel Beckett
I tried to groan, Help! Help! But the tone that came out was that of polite conversation.
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
If by Godot I had meant God I would have said God, and not Godot.
Samuel Beckett
There's something dripping in my head. A heart, a heart in my head.
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
God is a witness that cannot be sworn.
Samuel Beckett
We always find something, eh Didi, to let us think we exist?
Samuel Beckett
The reality of the individualis an incoherent reality and must be expressed incoherently.
Samuel Beckett
To have been always what I am - and so changed from what I was.
Samuel Beckett
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.' You won't believe what you can accomplish by attempting the impossible with the courage to repeatedly fail better.
Samuel Beckett
That penny farthing hell you call your mind
Samuel Beckett
What kind of country is this where a woman can't weep her heart out on the highways and byways without being tormented by retired bill-brokers!
Samuel Beckett
Let me go to hell, that's all I ask, and go on cursing them there, and them look down and hear me, that might take some of the shine off their bliss.
Samuel Beckett
Clear to me at last that the dark I have always struggled to keep under is in reality my most
