Samuel Beckett
That penny farthing hell you call your mind
Samuel Beckett
Deplorable mania, when something happens, to inquire what.

Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
Where am I, I don't know, I'll never know, in the silence, in the silence you don't know, you must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on.
Samuel Beckett
Habit is the ballast that chains the dog to his vomit.
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
Do they [the publishers of Murphy] not understand that if the book is slightly obscure it is because it is a compression and thatto compress it further can only make it more obscure?
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
Women are all the bloody sameyou can't love for five minutes without wanting it abolished in brats and house bloody wifery.
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
Words fail, there are times when even they fail.
Samuel Beckett
If by Godot I had meant God I would have said God, and not Godot.
Samuel Beckett
