Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
The old endless chain of love, tolerance, indifference, aversion and disgust
Samuel Beckett
I don't know why I told this story. I could just as well have told another. Perhaps some other time I'll be able to tell another. Living souls, you will see how alike they are.
Samuel Beckett
Humbly to ask a favour of people who are on the point of knocking your brains out sometimes produces good results.
Samuel Beckett
