Yazar Samuel Beckett, eşini kaybeden arkadaşına yazdığı bir mektupta şöyle diyor: “…Bize yaralarımızla birlikte yaşamaya devam etme gücü veren o tuhaf şey her neyse, onun seni asla yüzüstü bırakmamasını diliyorum.”
Gazeteci: Neden yazıyorsunuz?
Samuel BECKETT: Başka bir şeyden anlamam.
Oysa yalnızca sustuğunuzda farkına varırsınız, anlamsız gürültülerin.
-Samuel Beckett
Endgame / Samuel Beckett
In my house.
One day you'll be blind like me. You'll be sitting
here, a speck in the void, in the dark, forever, like me.
One day you'll say to yourself, I'm tired, I'll sit down, and you'll go and sit down. Then you'll say, I'm hungry, I'll get up and get something to eat. But you won't get up. You'll say, I shouldn't have sat down, but since I have I'll sit on a little longer, then I'll get up and get something to eat. But you won't get up and you won't get anything to eat.
You'll look at the wall a while, then you'll say, I'll close my eyes, perhaps have a little sleep, after that I'll feel better, and you'll close them. And when you open them again there'll be no wall any more.
Infinite emptiness will be all around you, all the resurrected dead of all the ages wouldn't fill it, and there you’ll be like a little bit of grit in the middle of the steppe. Yes, one day you’ll know what is it, you’ll be like me, expect that you won’t have anyone with you, because you won’t have had on anyone and because there won’t be anyone left to have pitty on you.

-Last night I saw inside my breast. There was a big sore.
-Pah , You saw your heart.
- No, it was living.
Şu uğursuz zaman hikâyelerinizle bana yeteri kadar işkence yapmadınız mı? Günün birinde doğduk, günün birinde öleceğiz. Aynı gün, aynı an, size yetmiyor mu bu kadarını bilmek. Bir ayağımız mezarda dünyaya getirirler bizi, güneş bir an parıldar, sonra yeniden gecedir.
