More quotes by Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
Let's go. We can't. Why not? We're waiting for Godot.
Samuel Beckett
I pause to record that I feel in extraordinary form. Delirium perhaps.
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
The old endless chain of love, tolerance, indifference, aversion and disgust
Samuel Beckett
There is no use indicting words, they are no shoddier than what they peddle.

Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
HAMM: We're not beginning to... to... mean something? CLOV: Mean something! You and I, mean something! (Brief laugh.) Ah that's a good one!
Samuel Beckett
I can't go on. I'll go on.
Samuel Beckett
Decidedly it will never have been given to me to finish anything, except perhaps breathing. One must not be greedy.
Samuel Beckett
I hope I am not too old to take it up seriously, nor too stupid about machines to qualify as a commercial pilot. I do not feel like spending the rest of my life writing books that no one will read. It is not as though I wanted to write them.
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
