Two Beckett Quotes
Quotes as requested by Katie:
Art Spiegelman: "Samuel Beckett once said: 'Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.' On the other hand, he said it."
(thanks, Ali, for inspiring me to finally read Maus)
The Movie "Becket":
Thomas Becket: Tonight you can do me the honor of christening my forks.
King Henry II: Forks?
Thomas Becket: Yes, from Florence. New little invention. It's for pronging meat and carrying it to the mouth. It saves you dirtying your fingers.
King Henry II: But then you dirty the fork.
Thomas Becket: Yes, but it's washable.
King Henry II: So are your fingers. I don't see the point.
