Philosophy Quote by Samuel Beckett — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“POZZO:”

“It is suicide to be abroad. But what it is to be at home, ... what it is to be at home? A lingering dissolution.”

“You can't have everything, I've often noticed it.”

“Ever Tried. Ever Failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.”

“You're on Earth. There's no cure for that.”

“Ah earth you old extinguisher.”

“Your educators can only be your liberators.”

“I realized that conservatism was the philosophy that best suited me, with its emphasis on individual liberty, personal responsibility, and merit.”

“Human social life, I suggest, is the magma that erupts and builds up, so to speak, at the fault lines where natural human capacities meet and grind against and over natural human limitations…. This meeting of powers and limitations produces a creative, dynamic tension and energy that generates and fuels the making of human social life and social structures…. It is real human persons living through the tensions of natural existential contradictions who construct patterned social meanings, interactions, institutions, and structures.”

“Ние строим духовно пречиствателна станция.”

“I kind of love it. It's so macabre. The reason we haven't seen or heard from anything off-world is that reaching off-world status is a civilisational death knell. Life either gets stuck there or destroyed there. It still doesn't really explain anything though - we can't see anyone because it's impossible to see anyone. It's circular. It doesn't say why becoming space proficient dooms us.”
