More quotes by Samuel Beckett
The search for the means to put an end to things, an end to speech, is what enables the discourse to continue.
Samuel Beckett
Abode where lost bodies roam each searching for its lost one.
Samuel Beckett
There is no escape from yesterday because yesterday has deformed us, or been deformed by us. The mood is of no importance. Deformation has taken place.
Samuel Beckett
Words are all we have.
Samuel Beckett
Nothing is more real than nothing.
Samuel Beckett
We always find something, eh Didi, to let us think we exist?
Samuel Beckett
Nothing happens. Nobody comes, nobody goes. It's awful.
Samuel Beckett
There is no use indicting words, they are no shoddier than what they peddle.
Samuel Beckett
Never but the one matter. The dead and gone. The dying and going. From the word go.
Samuel Beckett
That desert of loneliness and recrimination that men call love.
Samuel Beckett
There's something dripping in my head. A heart, a heart in my head.
Samuel Beckett
I am such a good man, at bottom, such a good man, how is it that nobody ever noticed it?
Samuel Beckett
Not to want to say, not to know what you want to say, not to be able to say what you think you want to say, and never to stop saying, or hardly ever, that is the thing to keep in mind, even in the heat of composition.
Samuel Beckett
Our vulgar perception is not concerned with other than vulgar phenomena.
Samuel Beckett
Vladimir: I don't understand. Estragon: Use your intelligence, can't you? Vladimir uses his intelligence. Vladimir: (finally) I remain in the dark.
Samuel Beckett
[T]he syndrome known as life is too diffuse to admit of palliation. For every symptom that is eased, another is made worse. The horse leech's daughter is a closed system. Her quantum of wantum cannot vary.
Samuel Beckett
The creation of the world did not take place once and for all time, but takes place every day.
Samuel Beckett
I use the words you taught me. If they don't mean anything any more, teach me others. Or let me be silent.
Samuel Beckett
Yesterday is not a milestone that has been passed, but a daystone on the beaten track of the years, and irremediably part of us, within us, heavy and dangerous. We are not merely more weary because of yesterday, we are other, no longer what we were before the calamity of yesterday.
Samuel Beckett
We lose our hair, our teeth! Our bloom, our ideals.
Samuel Beckett
