The Tuesday scowls, the Wednesday growls, the Thursday curses, the Friday howls, the Saturday snores, the Sunday yawns, the Monday morns, the Monday morns.

They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more.
Samuel Beckett
Image
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

Abode where lost bodies roam each searching for its lost one.
Samuel Beckett
Image
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
Image
My notes have a curious tendency, as I realize at last, to annihilate all they purport to record.
Samuel Beckett
Image
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.

The creation of the world did not take place once and for all time, but takes place every day.
