Samuel Beckett

The best way to get to know yourself is to live alone.

The dead are all listening. They don't care.

I am what I am, and I am not what I am not.

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

The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.

Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it's awful!

The more you are, the less you are. The less you are, the more you are.

We are born astride of a grave, and a hellish light it is.

Don't look for meaning in everything. And don't look for conclusions. Conclusions are a disease.

Dance till the stars come down from the rafters; dance, dance, dance till you drop.

Let us not waste our time in idle discourse! Let us do something, while we have the chance!

I use words because I have nothing else.

What do we do now? We wait. Yes, but while waiting. What do we do?

The greatest poverty is not to live in a cell, but to be without hope.

I hate the human race. I hate them all.

Old men are always thinking of the past and the future, but never of the present.

The best possible way to avoid the problem is to solve it.

I am what I am, or I am not.

You have no idea what it's like to be me. Nobody has any idea what it's like to be me.

All I know is what the words say.
