In these commuting conditions, it’s easy to lose sight of all hope and reality, and no one is more sympathetic to disillusionment regarding our mortality than Irish playwright Samuel Beckett. One brave user of the Internet took up the call, and mashed up photos of the abysmal travel conditions with famous quotes from plays like Endgame and Waiting for Godot.
Though there are many (completely user-generated) classic up on their website already and more to come, here are a few of our favorites.
From Waiting for Godot.
From Endgame, the 1957 play that proclaims that “nothing is funnier than unhappiness.” Right.
HE’S NEVER COMING.
It’s like Pozza is speaking directly into my soul (another from Waiting for Godot).
No, no I don’t. (From Waiting for Godot.)
WE??? (From Waiting for Godot.)
From Endgame, and from the thoughts of any one of us.
And perhaps most poignantly of all…
We were wondering the same thing. (From Endgame.)
For more of the existential woe, check out and submit (particularly if you’ve read anything other than Godot and Endgame) to the MB(ecket)TA blog.
