A few quotes from Samuel Beckett ( 1906 - 1989)
“If you don't
know where you are currently standing, you’re dead”
“We are all born mad. Some remain so.”
“You're on Earth. There's no cure for that.”
“Dance first. Think later. It's the natural
order.”
“I can't go on,
I'll go on.”
“My mistakes are
my life.”
“Don't touch me! Don't question me! Don't
speak to me! Stay with me!”
“The sun shone,
having no alternative, on the nothing new.”
“Every word is like an unnecessary stain on
silence and nothingness.”
“Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.”
“The only sin is
the sin of being born”
“Nothing is
funnier than unhappiness.”
“Let's go."
"We can't." "Why not?" "We're waiting for Godot.”
“No, I regret nothing, all I regret is having been born, dying is such a long tiresome business I always found.”
“Don't wait to
be hunted to hide.”
“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.”
“Habit is a great deadener.”
“I must go on. I can't go on. I'll go on.”
“I've got my faults, but changing my tune
isn't one of them.”
I must admit
that despite the rude word at the end, this has to be my favourite!– Keith
“The earth
makes a sound as of sighs and the last drops fall from the emptied cloudless
sky. A small boy, stretching out his hands and looking up at the blue sky,
asked his mother how such a thing was possible. Fuck off, she said.”
