More quotes by Samuel Beckett
I shall state silences more competently than ever a better man spangled the butterflies of vertigo.
Samuel Beckett
The only thing you must never speak of is your happiness.
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
If by Godot I had meant God I would have said God, and not Godot.
Samuel Beckett
Do we mean love, when we say love?
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
To-morrow, when I wake, or think I do, what shall I say of to-day?
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
Hold the old holding hand. Hold and be held. Plod on and never recede. Slowly with never a pause plod on and never recede.
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
Nothing happens. Nobody comes, nobody goes. It's awful.
Samuel Beckett
Words fail, there are times when even they fail.
Samuel Beckett
We are not saints, but we have kept our appointment. How many people can boast as much?
Samuel Beckett
Watt had watched people smile and thought he understood how it was done.
Samuel Beckett
It sometimes happens and will sometimes happen again that I forget who I am and strut before my eyes, like a stranger.
Samuel Beckett
That penny farthing hell you call your mind
