Frequently Asked Questions, Volume 1

What am I going to say now? I'm going to ask myself, I'm going to ask questions: that's a good stop-gap. (Not that I'm in any danger of stopping. Then why all this fuss?) That's right, questions: I know millions, I must know millions.
Samuel Beckett, The Unnamable
