Samuel Beckett

Personally I have no bone to pick with graveyards.

Words are all we have.

No, I regret nothing, all I regret is having been born, dying is such a long tiresome business I always found.

I feel sorry for generations of Labour voters and supporters who must look and wonder what on earth has gone wrong and what Labour is for.

Democracy, loudly upheld as a cure for much of the ailing world, has proved no guarantor of political wisdom, even if it remains the least bad form of government.
