Do not despair one of the thieves was saved. Make no mistake, one of the thieves was damned.
Do not despair; one of the thieves was saved. Do not presume; one of the thieves was damned.
Quote Explanation: Samuel Beckett told Harold Hobson in 1956: "I am interested in the shape of ideas even if I do not believe in them. There is a wonderful sentence in Augustine. I wish I could remember the Latin. It is even finer in Latin than in English. `Do not despair; one of the thieves was saved. Do not presume; one of the thieves was damned.' That sentence has a wonderful shape. It is the shape that matters." Another confirmation of the authorship of Augustine was not found. The quote used as epigraph to the film Golgotha (Calvary) 2014.
