Samuel Beckett Quotes

And truly it little matters what I say, this or that or any other thing. Saying is inventing. Wrong, very rightly wrong.

Samuel Beckett

It is extraordinary that nobody nowadays under the stress of great troubles is turned into stone or a bird or a tree or some inanimate object; they used to undergo such metamorphoses in ancient times (or so they say), though whether that is myth or a true story I know not.

Had that been possible, these calamities would in all probability have turned me to stone. Anna Comnena
