Additional quotes by Samuel Beckett

For I shall be far away, before these lines are read, in a place where no one will dream of coming to look for me.

Words and images run riot in my head, pursuing, flying, clashing, merging, endlessly. But beyond this tumult there is a great calm, and a great indifference, never really to be troubled by anything again.

I can't go on, I'll go on.
