More quotes by Samuel Beckett
Over, over, there is a soft place in my heart for all that is over, no, for the being over, words have been my only loves, not many.
Samuel Beckett
The Tuesday scowls, the Wednesday growls, the Thursday curses, the Friday howls, the Saturday snores, the Sunday yawns, the Monday morns, the Monday morns. The whacks, the moans, the cracks, the groans, the welts, the squeaks, the belts, the shrieks, the pricks, the prayers, the kicks, the tears, the skelps, and the yelps.
Samuel Beckett
I am such a good man, at bottom, such a good man, how is it that nobody ever noticed it?
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
There's man all over for you, blaming on his boots the fault of his feet.
Samuel Beckett
The blind have no notion of time. The things of time are hidden from them too.
Samuel Beckett
James Joyce: His writing is not about something. It is the thing itself.
Samuel Beckett
Birth was the death of him.
Samuel Beckett
Sloth is all passions the most powerful.
Samuel Beckett
They never lynch children, babies, no matter what they do they are whitewashed in advance.
Samuel Beckett
It sometimes happens and will sometimes happen again that I forget who I am and strut before my eyes, like a stranger.
Samuel Beckett
I say me, knowing all the while it's not me.
Samuel Beckett
To-morrow, when I wake, or think I do, what shall I say of to-day?
Samuel Beckett
My notes have a curious tendency, as I realize at last, to annihilate all they purport to record.
Samuel Beckett
Let's go. We can't. Why not? We're waiting for Godot.
Samuel Beckett
The time-state of attainment eliminates so accurately the time-state of aspiration, that the actual seems the inevitable, and, all conscious intellectual effort to reconstitute the invisible and unthinkable as a reality being fruitless, we are incapable of appreciating our joy by comparing it with our sorrow.
Samuel Beckett
I had seen faces in photographs I might have found beautiful had I known even vaguely in what beauty was supposed to consist. And my father's face, on his death-bolster, had seemed to hint at some form of aesthetics relevant to man. But the faces of the living, all grimace and flush, can they be described as objects?
Samuel Beckett
That penny farthing hell you call your mind
Samuel Beckett
Yes, there were times when I forgot not only who I was but that I was, forgot to be.
Samuel Beckett
I don't know why I told this story. I could just as well have told another. Perhaps some other time I'll be able to tell another. Living souls, you will see how alike they are.
Samuel Beckett
