We are all born mad. Some remain so. - Samuel Beckett

"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."

"The only sin is the sin of being born"

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

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

"No, I regret nothing, all I regret is having been born, dying is such a long tiresome business I always found."
