Samuel Beckett Quotes

"In the landscape of extinction, precision is next to godliness.""Fail better.""Go on failing. Go on. Only next time, try to fail better.""Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.""Where I am, I don't know, I'll never know, in the silence you don't know, you must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on.""My mistakes are my life.""We are all obliged, sooner or later, to join the great majority.""Better hope deferred than none""The creation of the world did not take place once and for all time, but takes place every day""Nothing matters but the writing. There has been nothing else worthwhile... a stain upon the silence""Words are all we have""The end is in the beginning and yet you go on""All I know is what the words know, and dead things, and that makes a handsome little sum, with a beginning and a middle and an end, as in the well-built phrase and the long sonata of the dead.""The tears of the world are a constant quantity. For each one who begins to weep, somewhere else another stops.""We're no longer needed.""People are bloody ignorant apes.""Nothing is funnier than unhappiness.""Memory and habit are the two things you can't live without.""We are not saints but we have kept our appointment how many people can boast as much""They give birth astride of a grave the light gleams an instant then it's night once more"
