"If what you write is true, it will not be so because of what you are as a writer but because of what you are as a being. There can be no literary equivalent to truth."

Previous Quote

What a joy to know where one is, and where one will stay, without being there. Nothing to do but stretch out comfortably on the rack, in the blissful knowledge you are nobody for all eternity. A pity I should have to give tongue at the same time, it prevents it from bleeding in peace, licking the lips.

— Samuel Beckett
