More quotes by Samuel Beckett
To be an artist is to fail, as no other dare fail, that failure is his world and the shrink from desertion, art and craft, good housekeeping, living.
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
HAMM: We're not beginning to... to... mean something? CLOV: Mean something! You and I, mean something! (Brief laugh.) Ah that's a good one!
Samuel Beckett
But at this place, at this moment of time, all mankind is us, whether we like it or not. Let us make the most of it, before it is too late!
Samuel Beckett
We always find something, eh Didi, to let us think we exist?
Samuel Beckett
It's a lot to ask of one creature, it's a lot to ask, that he should first behave as if he were not, then as if he were, before being admitted to that peace where he neither is, nor is not, and where the language dies that permits of such expressions.
Samuel Beckett
And truly it little matters what I say, this or that or any other thing. Saying is inventing. Wrong, very rightly wrong. You invent nothing, you think you are inventing, you think you are escaping, and all you do is stammer out your lesson, the remnants of a pensum one day got by heart and long forgotten, life without tears, as it is wept.
Samuel Beckett
All the things you would do gladly, oh without enthusiasm, but gladly, all the things there seems no reason for your not doing, and that you do not do! Can it be we are not free? It might be worth looking into.
Samuel Beckett
Dying for dark — and the darker the Worse. Strange.
Samuel Beckett
Don’t wait to be hunted to hide, that was always my motto.
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
The bicycle is a great good. But it can turn nasty, if ill employed.
Samuel Beckett
Dear incomprehension, it's thanks to you I'll be myself, in the end.
Samuel Beckett
There's never an end for the sea.
Samuel Beckett
Habit is the ballast that chains the dog to his vomit.
Samuel Beckett
God is love. Yes or no? No.
Samuel Beckett
If I had the use of my body, I would throw it out the window.
Samuel Beckett
Yes, I dont know why, but I have never been disappointed, and I often was in the early days, without feeling at the same time, or a moment later, an undeniable relief.
Samuel Beckett
How do you manage it, she said, at your age? I told her I'd been saving up for her all my life.
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
