Worstward Ho
"Worstward Ho" is a prose piece by Samuel Beckett. Its title is a parody of Charles Kingsley's "Westward Ho!". Written in English in 1983, it is the penultimate novella by Beckett. Together with "Company" and "Ill Seen Ill Said", it was collected in the volume "Nohow On" in 1989. Beckett’s most famous quote can be found in Worstward Ho – "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better."
