Inexplicably great lines

I'll start

Texts for Nothing?

That's right. I absolutely love Texts for Nothing. I've found on the whole I prefer 1950's onward Beckett to his earlier work.
Reading his short story trilogy (The End, The Calmative, The Expelled) and then reading Texts for Nothing is very rewarding, really shows the start of Beckett's aesthetic shift.

Been studying his later plays for the drama school I'm at and he's definitely a monumental dramatist - my friend is reading his trilogy of novels and says they're enjoyable in the vein of Joyce, even though I've heard mixed things. Think I'll start them next

I've only read Molloy but love it. I'd love to see one of his plays. A friend of mine saw Words a year or two ago and said it was unlike anything he'd ever seen. He described it as a sensory overload despite the absolute minimalism of the play.
The entire theater was dark except for the light being kept on the actress' mouth. Even the EXIT signs were turned off.

Sounds very cool - I love the minimalism of Beckett's stuff... Breath is probably the greatest example - it lasts half a minute and has no characters

I guess I just dump a couple I really like.

>I've never been a coward at heart, although I've always been a coward in action
>This year I am twenty-seven. My hair has become much greyer. Most people would take me for over forty.
>He fell in October, 1918, on a day that was so quiet and still on the whole front, that the army report confined itself to the single sentence: All quiet on the Western Front.
>Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody.

>And come a stove boat and stove body when they will, for my stave my soul, Jove himself cannot.

>The only wealth is life.
This CAN be explained, and is a cinch to deconstruct..
