Bellissima frase! Potente e poetica.

I definitely feel that we can only evolve backwards with our oh so precious modern literature since Beckett already said it all.

I don't know yet his prose, I haven't read nothing by Beckett, but I will. Another author that says a lot using just some few words is Pessoa, incredible.
