![“Live and invent. I have tried. I must have tried. Invent. It is not the word. Neither is to live. No matter. I have tried. [...] I say living without knowing what it is. I tried to live without knowing what I was trying. Perhaps I have lived afterall, without knowing.” quote by Samuel Beckett](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/48e/samuel-beckett-365_innovation_live-and-invent-i-have-tried-i-must-have_2358216.jpg)
