"One day we were born, one day we shall die, the same day, the same second.

Ah earth you old extinguisher.

More Samuel Beckett quotes
"The only sin is the sin of being born
"No, I regret nothing, all I regret is having been born, dying is such a long tiresome business I always found.
"The end is in the beginning and yet you go on.
"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 ash...
"I shall soon be quite dead at last in spite of all.
"And on the threshold of being no more I succeed in being another.
"They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more.
"To every man his little cross. Till he dies. And is forgotten.
