Harold Pinter said about Beckett:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe farther he goes the more good it does me. I don\u2019t want philosophies, tracts, dogmas, creeds, ways out, truths, answers, nothing from the bargain basement. He is the most courageous, remorseless writer going and the more he grinds my nose in the shit the more I am grateful to him. He\u2019s not fucking me about, he\u2019s not leading me up any garden path, he\u2019s not slipping me a wink, he\u2019s not flogging me a remedy or a path or a revelation or a basinful of breadcrumbs, he\u2019s not selling me anything I don\u2019t want to buy \u2014 he doesn\u2019t give a bollock whether I buy or not \u2014 he hasn\u2019t got his hand over his heart. Well, I\u2019ll buy his goods, hook, line and sinker, because he leaves no stone unturned and no maggot lonely. He brings forth a body of beauty. His work is beautiful.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Irish playwright Brendan Behan once said: <\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t understand what Samuel Beckett\u2019s works are about,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I don\u2019t understand what a swim in the ocean is about. I just love the flow of the water over my body.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
