Additional quotes by Samuel Beckett

It is the role of objects to restore silence

The confusion is not my invention. We cannot listen to a conversation for five minutes without being aware of the confusion. It is all around us and our only chance now is to let it in. The only chance of renovation is to open our eyes and see the mess. It is not a mess you can make sense of.

The tears of the world are a constant quantity. For each one who begins to weep somewhere else another stops. The same is true of the laugh.
