More quotes by Samuel Beckett
We all are born mad. Some remain so.
Samuel Beckett
Let's go. We can't. Why not? We're waiting for Godot.
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
Don’t wait to be hunted to hide, that was always my motto.
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
It was the only way to progress, to stop.
Samuel Beckett
There is this to be said for Dachsunds of such length and lowness as Nelly, that it makes very little difference to their appearance whether they stand, sit or lie.
Samuel Beckett
I, of whom I know nothing, I know my eyes are open, because of the tears that pour from them unceasingly.
Samuel Beckett
Adulterers, take warning, never admit.
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.

Samuel Beckett
Two in distressmake sorrow less.
Samuel Beckett
And all these questions I ask myself. It is not in a spirit of curiosity. I cannot be silent. About myself I need know nothing. Here all is clear. No, all is not clear. But the discourse must go on. So one invents obscurities. Rhetoric.
Samuel Beckett
God is a witness that cannot be sworn.
Samuel Beckett
The human eyelid is not teartight (happily for the human eye).
Samuel Beckett
The only thing you must never speak of is your happiness.
Samuel Beckett
When a man in a forest thinks he is going forward in a straight line, in reality he is going in a circle, I did my best to go in a circle, hoping to go in a straight line.
Samuel Beckett
My notes have a curious tendency, as I realize at last, to annihilate all they purport to record.
Samuel Beckett
That desert of loneliness and recrimination that men call love.
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
Dear incomprehension, it's thanks to you I'll be myself, in the end.
Samuel Beckett
