Samuel Beckett Quotes

The lid is made of stone, and it looks like there is a mechanism to open it.

Don’t wait to be hunted to hide, that was always my motto.

I have my faults, but changing my tune is not one of them.

The sun shone, having no alternative, on the nothing new.

The old endless chain of love, tolerance, indifference, aversion and disgust

I, of whom I know nothing, I know my eyes are open, because of the tears that pour from them unceasingly.

I tried to groan, Help! Help! But the tone that came out was that of polite conversation.

Against the charitable gesture there is no defence.

There's man all over for you, blaming on his boots the fault of his feet.

Words are all we have.

Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.

What do we do now, now that we are happy?

If I was dead, I wouldn't know I was dead. That's the only thing I have against death. I want to enjoy my death.

The end is in the beginning and yet you go on.

People are bloody ignorant apes.

With all this darkness round me I feel less alone.

What do I know of man's destiny? I could tell you more about radishes.

Reality, whether approached imaginatively or empirically, remains a surface, hermetic.

If I had the use of my body, I would throw it out the window.

Any fool can turn a blind eye but who knows what the ostrich sees in the sand.

The human eyelid is not teartight (happily for the human eye).

All poetry, as discriminated from the various paradigms of prosody, is prayer.

Ah, the old questions, the old answers, there's nothing like them!

The sky sinks in the morning, this fact has been insufficiently observed.

I am still alive then. That may come in useful.

What is that unforgettable line?

Dance first. Think later. It's the natural order.

Nothing is more real than nothing.

It was the only way to progress, to stop.

You're on earth. There's no cure for that.

Words are the clothes thoughts wear.

The creation of the world did not take place once and for all time, but takes place every day.

The end of a life is always vivifying.

To-morrow, when I wake, or think I do, what shall I say of to-day?

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.

Don't look for meaning in the words. Listen to the silences.
