More quotes by Samuel Beckett
I could not have gone through the awful wretched mess of life without having left a stain upon the silence.
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
The fact is, it seems, that the most you can hope is to be a little less, in the end, the creature you were in the beginning, and the middle.
Samuel Beckett
No, I regret nothing, all I regret is having been born, dying is such a long tiresome business I always found.
Samuel Beckett
The human eyelid is not teartight (happily for the human eye).
Samuel Beckett
Don't touch me! Don't question me! Don't speak to me! Stay with me!
Samuel Beckett
I tried to groan, Help! Help! But the tone that came out was that of polite conversation.
Samuel Beckett
I say me, knowing all the while it's not me.
Samuel Beckett
Try again. Fail again. Try better.
Samuel Beckett
To him who has nothing it is forbidden not to relish filth.
Samuel Beckett
It was long since I had longed for anything and the effect on me was horrible.
Samuel Beckett
Women are all the bloody sameyou can't love for five minutes without wanting it abolished in brats and house bloody wifery.
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
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
Dance first. Think later. It's the natural order.
Samuel Beckett
What a joy to know where one is, and where one will stay, without being there. Nothing to do but stretch out comfortably on the rack, in the blissful knowledge you are nobody for all eternity. A pity I should have to give tongue at the same time, it prevents it from bleeding in peace, licking the lips.
Samuel Beckett
Words fail, there are times when even they fail.
Samuel Beckett
Birth was the death of him.
Samuel Beckett
Better hope deferred than none.
Samuel Beckett
Suffering is the main condition of the artistic experience.
Samuel Beckett
