Samuel Beckett
The time is perhaps not altogether too green for the vile suggestion that art has nothing to do with clarity, does not dabble in the clear and does not make clear, and more than the light of day (or night) makes the subsolar, -lunar, and -stellar excrement. Art is the sun, moon, and stars of the mind, the whole mind.
Samuel Beckett
God is a witness that cannot be sworn.
Samuel Beckett
To find a form that accommodates the shape of the mess, that is the task of the artist now.
Samuel Beckett
We lose our hair, our teeth! Our bloom, our ideals.
Samuel Beckett
