“I grow gnomic. It is the last phase.”
Samuel Beckett (1906–1989) Irish novelist, playwright, and poet
The Letters of Samuel Becket 1929–1940 (2009), p. 209
“I have painted like an ape. The ape phase is in all my work. My first lick of paint is the ape phase, from that I grow towards a more intellectual phase, involving the lines, the rhythm. From that phase I grow towards mankind, for that is where the power of my imagination lies. It no longer has anything to do with reality, even though the world is present in it - for we recognize people, animals, plants, you name it.”

“I feel we are in that kind of phase.”
Jocelyn Bell Burnell (1943) British scientist
Beautiful Minds (2010)
Context: I have this sense that we need to picture cosmology, the evolution of the universe in a whole new way. I'm probably not one that can achieve this new thinking but somebody will and I feel at the moment we're kind of waiting for it to happen. A bit like a pregnant pause. A bit like what happens when there's a snowfall, first snowfall of the year, when everything goes quiet and kind of waits. I feel we are in that kind of phase.
