More quotes by Samuel Beckett
We wait. We are bored. (He throws up his hand.) No, don't protest, we are bored to death, there's no denying it. Good. A diversion comes along and what do we do? We let it go to waste. Come, let's get to work! (He advances towards the heap, stops in his stride.) In an instant all will vanish and we'll be alone more, in the midst of nothingness!
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
Ah, the old questions, the old answers, there's nothing like them!
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
Don’t wait to be hunted to hide, that was always my motto.
Samuel Beckett
My mistakes are my life.
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
We have time to grow old. The air is full of our cries. But habit is a great deadener.
Samuel Beckett
Yes, in my life, since we must call it so, there were three things, the inability to speak, the inability to be silent, and solitude, that’s what I’ve had to make the best of.
Samuel Beckett
I know those little phrases that seem so innocuous, and, once you let them in, pollute the whole of speech. 'Nothing is more real than nothing.' They rise up out of the pit and know no rest until they drag you down into its dark.
Samuel Beckett
There is no use indicting words, they are no shoddier than what they peddle.
Samuel Beckett
I say me, knowing all the while it's not me.
Samuel Beckett
I am such a good man, at bottom, such a good man, how is it that nobody ever noticed it?
Samuel Beckett
I want very much to be back in the caul, on my back in the dark forever.
Samuel Beckett
Watt had watched people smile and thought he understood how it was done.
Samuel Beckett
All has not been said and never will be.
Samuel Beckett
