Samuel Beckett

I speak of the body and I see a hole.

We are all in the mud, but some of us are looking at the stars.

The more you say, the less you mean.

I have nothing to say, nothing to hear, nothing to see, nothing to know.

Nothing is funnier than unhappiness.

I am not a philosopher.

I am not a writer.

I am not a playwright.

I am not a novelist.

Don't look for meaning in everything. Do you find meaning in a chair?

We are born astride of a grave, and a difficult birth at that. Down in the hole, lingeringly, the grave-digger puts on the forceps.

Dance, dance, dance, until you are nothing but bones.

I use words, not to say something, but to prevent myself from saying nothing.

The sun shines, the rain falls, the wind blows. It's always the same.

What are we doing here, that is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we have a an answer. We are waiting for Godot.

The expression 'nothing to be done' is a common expression. It implies a certain resignation.

I open my mouth, I don't know what I'm saying.

Life is a succession of deaths.

You are not in the world, you are the world.

The earth is a charnel house.
