More quotes by Samuel Beckett
They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more.
Samuel Beckett
The creation of the world did not take place once and for all time, but takes place every day.
Samuel Beckett
You would do better, at least no worse, to obliterate texts than to blacken margins, to fill in the holes of words till all is blank and flat and the whole ghastly business looks like what it is, senseless, speechless, issueless misery.
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
Deplorable mania, when something happens, to inquire what.
Samuel Beckett
Poets are the sense, philosophers the intelligence of humanity.
Samuel Beckett
To-morrow, when I wake, or think I do, what shall I say of to-day?
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
In the landscape of extinction, precision is next to godliness.
Samuel Beckett
Better hope deferred than none.
Samuel Beckett
Art has nothing to do with clarity, does not dabble in the clear and does not make clear
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
We are all born crazy. Some remain that way.
Samuel Beckett
For in me there have always been two fools, among others, one asking nothing better than to stay where he is and the other imagining that life might be slightly less horrible a little further on.
Samuel Beckett
Yes, there is no denying it, any longer, it is not you who are dead, but all the others. So you get up and go to your mother, who thinks she is alive. That's my impression. But now I shall have to get myself out of this ditch. How joyfully I would vanish here, sinking deeper and deeper under the rains.
Samuel Beckett
The end is in the beginning and yet you go on.
Samuel Beckett
I could not have gone through the awful wretched mess of life without having left a stain upon the silence.
Samuel Beckett
