Samuel Beckett

The essential doesn't change.

I am not interested in any system. I am not interested in any theory.

Given the choice between the two, I would always choose silence.

We are not saints, but we have been saints.

The more I think, the less I am.

I can't express myself. I have no words.

The best things in life are free, but they cost a lot of money.

I'm not a philosopher, I'm an artist.

The day will come when I shall be able to tell myself that I have done all that I can.

All life is a coming into being and a going out of being.

The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.

The light cannot come from the outside.

The dead are all around us, like leaves in autumn.
