Ill Seen Ill Said Quotes

“Incontinent the void. The zenith. Evening again. When not night it will be evening. Death again of deathless day. On one hand embers. On the other ashes. Day without end won and lost. Unseen.”
― Samuel Beckett, Ill Seen Ill Said

“Already all confusion. Things and imaginings. As of always. Confusion amounting to nothing. Despite precautions. If only she could be pure figment. Unalloyed. This old so dying woman. So dead. In the madhouse of the skull and nowhere else. Where no more precautions to be taken. No precautions possible. Cooped up there with the rest. Hovel and stones. The lot. And the eye. How simple all then. If only all could be pure figment. Neither be nor been nor by any shift to be. Gently gently. On. Careful.”
― Samuel Beckett, Ill Seen Ill Said

“No. One moment more. One last. Grace to breathe that void. Know happiness.”
― Samuel Beckett, Ill Seen Ill Said

“When not evening night.”
― Samuel Beckett, Ill Seen Ill Said

“Was it ever over and done with questions? Dead the whole brood no sooner hatched. Long before. In the egg. Long before. Over and done with answering. With not being able. With not being able not to want to know. With not being able. No. Never. A dream. Question answered.”
― Samuel Beckett, Ill Seen Ill Said
