The only sin is the sin of being born - Samuel Beckett

"If you do not love me I shall not be loved If I do not love you I shall not love."

"We are all born mad. Some remain so."

"You're on Earth. There's no cure for that."

"Try again. Fail again. Fail better."

"I always thought old age would be a writer’s best chance. Whenever I read the late work of Goethe or W. B. Yeats I had the impertinence to identify with it. Now, my memory’s gone, all the old fluency’s disappeared. I don’t write a single sentence without saying to myself, ‘It’s a lie!’ So I know I was right. It’s the best chance I’ve ever had."
