More quotes by Samuel Beckett
To every man his little cross. Till he dies. And is forgotten.
Samuel Beckett
I say me, knowing all the while it's not me.
Samuel Beckett
Suffering is the main condition of the artistic experience.
Samuel Beckett
If I had the use of my body, I would throw it out the window.
Samuel Beckett
It's a rare thing not to have been bonny-- once.
Samuel Beckett
Words and images run riot in my head, pursuing, flying, clashing, merging, endlessly. But beyond this tumult there is a great calm, and a great indifference, never really to be troubled by anything again.
Samuel Beckett
Hold the old holding hand. Hold and be held. Plod on and never recede. Slowly with never a pause plod on and never recede.
Samuel Beckett
What kind of country is this where a woman can't weep her heart out on the highways and byways without being tormented by retired bill-brokers!
Samuel Beckett
And truly it little matters what I say, this or that or any other thing. Saying is inventing. Wrong, very rightly wrong. You invent nothing, you think you are inventing, you think you are escaping, and all you do is stammer out your lesson, the remnants of a pensum one day got by heart and long forgotten, life without tears, as it is wept.
Samuel Beckett
Don't touch me! Don't question me! Don't speak to me! Stay with me!
Samuel Beckett
I can't go on. I'll go on.
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
An imaginative adventure does not enjoy the same corsets as reportage.
Samuel Beckett
Habit is a compromise effected between the individual and his environment, or between the individual and his own organic eccentricities, the guarantee of a dull inviolability, the lightning-conductor of his existence.
Samuel Beckett
But at this place, at this moment of time, all mankind is us, whether we like it or not. Let us make the most of it, before it is too late!
Samuel Beckett
What are we doing here, that is the question.
Samuel Beckett
We all are born mad. Some remain so.
Samuel Beckett
The blind have no notion of time. The things of time are hidden from them too.
Samuel Beckett
Dublin university contains the cream of Ireland: Rich and thick.
Samuel Beckett
Abode where lost bodies roam each searching for its lost one.
Samuel Beckett
