More quotes by Samuel Beckett

"Words are the clothes thoughts wear."
"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."
"No, I regret nothing, all I regret is having been born, dying is such a long tiresome business I always found."
"We are all born mad. Some remain so."
"Try again. Fail again. Fail better."
