Samuel Beckett is an Irish novelist, playwright, short story writer, theatre director, poet, and literary translator.

A resident of Paris for most of his life, he wrote in both French and English.

Beckett's work offers a bleak, tragi-comic outlook on human existence, often coupled with black comedy and gallows humor, and became increasingly minimalist in his later career. He is considered one of the last modernist writers, and one of the key figures in what Martin Esslin called the "Theatre of the Absurd".

Beckett was awarded the 1969 Nobel Prize in Literature.

Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.

Walter [Lowenfels], all I want to do is sit on my ass and fart and think of Dante.

The dead die hard, they are trespassers on the beyond, they must take the place as they find it, the shafts and manholes back into the muck, till such time as the lord of the manor incurs through his long acquiescence a duty of care in respect of them.

Let me say before I go any further that I forgive nobody. I wish them all an atrocious life and then the fires and ice of hell and in the execrable generations to come an honored name.
