Samuel Beckett
What goes by the name of love is banishment, with now and then a postcard from the homeland, such is my considered opinion, this evening.
Samuel Beckett
There is no use indicting words, they are no shoddier than what they peddle.
Samuel Beckett
Dublin university contains the cream of Ireland: Rich and thick.
