Samuel Beckett


"The tears of the world are a constant quantity. For each one who begins to weep somewhere else another stops. The same is true of the laugh. Let us not then speak ill of our generation, it is not any unhappier than its predecessors. Let us not speak well of it either. Let us not speak of it at all."
-Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot

I had the chance to play the character "Lucky" in a production of Waiting for Godot in college, probably around 1973. I was pretty good, too. The pinnacle of my acting career, I'd guess.
