More quotes by Samuel Beckett
Yes, light, there is no other word for it.
Samuel Beckett
Don't touch me! Don't question me! Don't speak to me! Stay with me!
Samuel Beckett
The short winter’s day was drawing to a close. It seems to me sometimes that these are the only days I have ever known, and especially that most charming moment of all, just before night wipes them out.
Samuel Beckett
Habit is the ballast that chains the dog to his vomit.
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
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 desert of loneliness and recrimination that men call love.
Samuel Beckett
We all are born mad. Some remain so.
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
Perhaps my best years are gone. When there was a chance of happiness. But I wouldn't want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn't want them back.
Samuel Beckett
I try. I fail. I try again. I fail better.
Samuel Beckett
God is a witness that cannot be sworn.
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
And what I have, what I am, is enough, was always enough for me, and as far as my dear little sweet little future is concerned I have no qualms, I have a good time coming.
Samuel Beckett
I say me, knowing all the while it's not me.
Samuel Beckett
No, I regret nothing, all I regret is having been born, dying is such a long tiresome business I always found.
Samuel Beckett
Words fail, there are times when even they fail.
Samuel Beckett
If you don't know where you are currently standing, you're dead.
Samuel Beckett
Hardly had the glow been kindled by some good deed on your part or by some little triumph over your rivals or by a word of praisefrom your parents or mentors when it would begin to cool and fade leaving you in a very short time as chill and dim as before.
Samuel Beckett
