Samuel Beckett

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
The memory came faint and cold of the story I might have told, a story in the likeness of my life, I mean without the courage to end or the strength to go on.
Samuel Beckett
Make sense who may. I switch off.
Samuel Beckett
Try again. Fail again. Try better.
Samuel Beckett
Don't look for meaning in the words. Listen to the silences.
Samuel Beckett
Our vulgar perception is not concerned with other than vulgar phenomena.
Samuel Beckett
