Samuel Beckett

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
Birth was the death of him.
Samuel Beckett
Ah, the old questions, the old answers, there's nothing like them!
Samuel Beckett
