They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more.

Don't wait to be hunted to hide, that's always been my motto.

If I was dead, I wouldn’t know I was dead. That’s the only thing I have against death. I want to enjoy my death.

We are all born mad. Some remain so.

SAMUEL BECKETT, Waiting for Godot

past moments old dreams back again or fresh like those that pass or things things always and memories I say them as I hear them murmur them in the mud

Better hope deferred than none.

God is a witness that cannot be sworn.

Have you not done tormenting me with your accursed time! It's abominable! When! When! One day, is that not enough for you, one day he went dumb, one day I went blind, one day we'll go deaf, one day we were born, one day we shall die, the same day, the same second, is that not enough for you?

all these calculations yes explanations yes the whole story from beginning to end yes completely false yes

Let us not waste our time in idle discourse!

Our vulgar perception is not concerned with other than vulgar phenomena.

I pause to record that I feel in extraordinary form. Delirium perhaps.

My mistakes are my life.

Where I am, I don't know, I'll never know, in the silence you don't know, you must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on.

Theatre of the Absurd - a history and analysis of this dramatic movement, which includes the work of such dramatists as Beckett, Ionecso, Genet and Pinter.

Three Plays of the Absurd - In this collection of plays, Walter Wykes creates a series of modern myths, tapping into something in the strata of the subconscious, through ritualism and rich, poetic language. The worlds he creates are brand new and hilarious, yet each contains an ancient horror we all know and cannot escape and have never been able to hang one definitive word on.
