Samuel Beckett quotes

Speech marksBeckett, Samuel (1906 – 1989) – Irish author, dramatist, & novelist

Ever tried? Ever failed? No Matter, try again, fail again, Fail better.

I don’t like animals. It’s a strange thing, I don’t like men and I don’t like animals. As for God, he is beginning to disgust me. “Molloy”, 1951

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

The fact is, it seems, that the most you can hope is to be a little less, in the end, the creature you were in the beginning, and the middle. “Molloy”, 1951

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. “The Unnamable”, 1959

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. “The Expelled”, 1946
