Manière Noire

“The search for the means to put an end to things, an end to speech, is what enables the discourse to continue.”
― Samuel Beckett, The Unnamable

“As beautiful as the chance encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on an operating table.”
― Lautreamont

“The tears stream down my cheeks from my unblinking eyes. What makes me weep so? There is nothing saddening here. Perhaps it is liquefied brain.”
― Samuel Beckett, The Unnamable

“...you must say words, as long as there are any, until they find me, until they say me, strange pain, strange sin, you must go on, perhaps it's done already, perhaps they have said me already, perhaps they have carried me to the threshold of my story, before the door that opens on my story, that would surprise me, if it opens, it will be I, it will be the silence, where I am, I don't know, I'll never know, in the silence you don't know, you must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on”
― Samuel Beckett, The Unnamable
