More quotes by Samuel Beckett
Let me go to hell, that's all I ask, and go on cursing them there, and them look down and hear me, that might take some of the shine off their bliss.
Samuel Beckett
The creation of the world did not take place once and for all time, but takes place every day.
Samuel Beckett
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.' You won't believe what you can accomplish by attempting the impossible with the courage to repeatedly fail better.
Samuel Beckett
VLADIMIR: What do they say? ESTRAGON: They talk about their lives. VLADIMIR: To have lived is not enough for them. ESTRAGON: They have to talk about it.
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
We always find something, eh Didi, to let us think we exist?
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
But I know what darkness is, it accumulates, thickens, then suddenly bursts and drowns everything.
Samuel Beckett
Personally I have no bone to pick with graveyards.
Samuel Beckett
Don't look for meaning in the words. Listen to the silences.
Samuel Beckett
The old endless chain of love, tolerance, indifference, aversion and disgust
Samuel Beckett
Ah, the old questions, the old answers, there's nothing like them!
Samuel Beckett
How long have I been here, what a question, I've often wondered. And often I could answer, An hour, a month, a year, a century, depending on what I meant by here, and me, and being, and there I never went looking for extravagant meanings, there I never much varied, only the here would sometimes seem to vary.
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
The only thing you must never speak of is your happiness.
Samuel Beckett
To find a form that accommodates the shape of the mess, that is the task of the artist now.
Samuel Beckett
