Amor Quote by Samuel Beckett
““Nu cunosteam cantecul, nu-l auzisem niciodata inainte si nu-l voi mai auzi niciodata. Imi amintesc doar ca era vorba de niste lamai sau portocali, nu mai stiu precis, si pentru mine asta-i un succes, c-am retinut ca era vorba de lamai, sau de portocali, caci din alte cantece pe care le-auzisem in viata mea, si-am auzit destule, caci este fizic imposibil s-ar zice, sa traiesti, chiar si asa cum traiam eu, fara sa auzi cantecele, exceptandu-i pe surzi, nu retinusem absolut nimic, niciun cuvant, nicio nota, sau atat de putine cuvinte, atat de putine note ca, ca ce, ca nimic, fraza asta a durat destul.””
