Samuel Beckett Quotes

What do I know of man’s destiny? I could tell you more about radishes Picture Quote #1

Memories are killing. So you must not think of certain things, of those that are dear to you, or rather you must think of them, for if you don’t there is the danger of finding them, in your mind, little by little Picture Quote #1

I have always been amazed at my contemporaries’ lack of finesse, I whose soul writhed from morning to night, in the mere quest of itself Picture Quote #1

Yes, I don’t know why, but I have never been disappointed, and I often was in the early days, without feeling at the same time, or a moment later, an undeniable relief Picture Quote #1

I marshalled the words and opened my mouth, thinking I would hear them. But all I heard was a kind of rattle, unintelligible even to me who knew what was intended Picture Quote #1

The memory came faint and cold of the story I might have told, a story in the likeness of my life, I mean without the courage to end or the strength to go on Picture Quote #1

All the things you would do gladly, oh without enthusiasm, but gladly, all the things there seems no reason for your not doing, and that you do not do! Can it be we are not free? It might be worth looking into Picture Quote #1

Yes, there were times when I forgot not only who I was but that I was, forgot to be Picture Quote #1

Not to want to say, not to know what you want to say, not to be able to say what you think you want to say, and never to stop saying, or hardly ever, that is the thing to keep in mind, even in the heat of composition Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I could not have gone through the awful wretched mess of life without having left a stain upon the silence Picture Quote #1

I use the words you taught me. If they don’t mean anything any more, teach me others. Or let me be silent Picture Quote #1

Perhaps my best years are gone. When there was a chance of happiness. But I wouldn’t want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn’t want them back Picture Quote #1

Hold the old holding hand. Hold and be held. Plod on and never recede. Slowly with never a pause plod on and never recede Picture Quote #1

We spend our life, it’s ours, trying to bring together in the same instant a ray of sunshine and a free bench Picture Quote #1

I open the door of the cell and go. I am so bowed I only see my feet, if I open my eyes, and between my legs a little trail of black dust. I say to myself that the earth is extinguished, though I never saw it lit Picture Quote #1

Don’t touch me! Don’t question me! Don’t speak to me! Stay with me! Picture Quote #1

The search for the means to put an end to things, an end to speech, is what enables the discourse to continue Picture Quote #1

Silence, yes, but what silence! For it is all very fine to keep silence, but one has also to consider the kind of silence one keeps Picture Quote #1

The tears stream down my cheeks from my unblinking eyes. What makes me weep so? There is nothing saddening here. Perhaps it is liquefied brain Picture Quote #1

How do you manage it, she said, at your age? I told her I’d been saving up for her all my life Picture Quote #1

Art has nothing to do with clarity, does not dabble in the clear and does not make clear Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Decidedly it will never have been given to me to finish anything, except perhaps breathing. One must not be greedy Picture Quote #1

The creation of the world did not take place once and for all time, but takes place every day Picture Quote #1

Any fool can turn a blind eye but who knows what the ostrich sees in the sand Picture Quote #1

It’s so nice to know where you’re going, in the early stages. It almost rids you of the wish to go there Picture Quote #1

For to know nothing is nothing, not to want to know anything likewise, but to be beyond knowing anything, to know you are beyond knowing anything, that is when peace enters in, to the soul of the incurious seeker Picture Quote #1

I love order. It’s my dream. A world where all would be silent and still, and each thing in its last place, under the last dust Picture Quote #1

If there is one question I dread, to which I have never been able to invent a satisfactory reply, it is the question what am I doing Picture Quote #1
