“We were working on what became Finnegan's Wake, and there was a knock at the door. I didn't hear it, so when Joyce said, "Come in" I wrote down "Come in". I never took it out. It made as much sense as anything else. I like to imagine earnest literary students writing theses on the meaning and implications of that "Come in" in the book.”
― Samuel Beckett (when working as assistant to James Joyce)
