from Beckett's first novel:

All that sublimen of blatherskite just to give some idea of the state the poor fellow was in on arrival. We would not wish our young hero to be misjudged, or hastily judged, by the reader, for want of a few facts.  We strive to give the capital facts of his case.  Facts, we cannot repeat it too often, let us have facts, plenty of facts. 
 

Samuel Beckett (BOTD 1906) from his first novel, Dream of Fair to Middling Women, first paragraph on page 74.  The book was written in the summer of 1932 and was published in 1992, a few years after the author's death per his instructions.
