Many thanks for your letter & birthday card. Good of you to think on me in my extremity.
— Samuel Beckett to Alan Schneider, 17 April 1976.
Thank you very much for your birthday wishes. Greatly touched that you should have thought of it.
— Samuel Beckett to Mania Péron, 15 April 1952.
My silly old body is here alone with the snow and the crows and the exercise-book that opens like a door and lets me far down into the now friendly dark
— Samuel Beckett to Ethna MacCarthy, 10 January 1959.

The strange, gentle pleasures that I feel at the approach of spring are impossible of expression, and if that is a sentence inviting ridicule, so much the worse for me. I have positively never watched it coming with so much impatience and so much relief. And I think of it as a victory over darkness, nightmares, swears, panic and madness, and of the crocuses and daffodils as the promise of a life at least bearable, once enjoyed but in a past so remote that all trace, even remembrance of it, had been almost lost.
— Samuel Beckett to Morris Sinclair, 4 March 1934.

The German Diaries reveal how much Beckett was struggling to 'endure' life, feeling no 'desire except the old velleity towards painless release from the fragile habit of getting up, dressing, moving, eating, undressing, going to bed' (GD, 7 March 1937).

[I] often I think it's time I put an end to it. That's all through, the new work. But then again... there are also times when I think, maybe it's time to begin.
— Samuel Beckett, quoted in Lawrence Shainberg, 'Exorcising Beckett', The Paris Review, 104 (Fall 1987).
