More quotes by Samuel Beckett
The sky sinks in the morning, this fact has been insufficiently observed.
Samuel Beckett
Don't touch me! Don't question me! Don't speak to me! Stay with me!
Samuel Beckett
For in me there have always been two fools, among others, one asking nothing better than to stay where he is and the other imagining that life might be slightly less horrible a little further on.
Samuel Beckett
The end is in the beginning and yet you go on.
Samuel Beckett
To have been always what I am - and so changed from what I was.
Samuel Beckett
The reality of the individualis an incoherent reality and must be expressed incoherently.
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
God is love. Yes or no? No.
Samuel Beckett
To every man his little cross. Till he dies. And is forgotten.
Samuel Beckett
I pause to record that I feel in extraordinary form. Delirium perhaps.
Samuel Beckett
The only sin is the sin of being born.
Samuel Beckett
The search for the means to put an end to things, an end to speech, is what enables the discourse to continue.
Samuel Beckett
Absolute virtue is as sure to kill a man as absolute vice is, let alone the dullness of it and the pomposities of it.
Samuel Beckett
Do we mean love, when we say love?
Samuel Beckett
They never lynch children, babies, no matter what they do they are whitewashed in advance.
Samuel Beckett
My keepers, why keepers, I'm in no danger of stirring an inch, ah I see, it's to make me think I'm a prisoner, frantic with corporeality, rearing to get out and away.
Samuel Beckett
Sloth is all passions the most powerful.
Samuel Beckett
All has not been said and never will be.
Samuel Beckett
How hideous is the semicolon.
Samuel Beckett
[T]he syndrome known as life is too diffuse to admit of palliation. For every symptom that is eased, another is made worse. The horse leech's daughter is a closed system. Her quantum of wantum cannot vary.
Samuel Beckett
