Words are all we have.
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
Let's go. We can't. Why not? We're waiting for Godot.
Samuel Beckett
Yes, light, there is no other word for it.
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
I, of whom I know nothing, I know my eyes are open, because of the tears that pour from them unceasingly.
Samuel Beckett
Do we mean love, when we say love?
Samuel Beckett
Words fail, there are times when even they fail.
Samuel Beckett
Two in distressmake sorrow less.
Samuel Beckett
All has not been said and never will be.
Samuel Beckett
