Warten auf Godot En attendant Godot Waiting for Godot

About this masterpiece by the Irish Nobel laureate Samuel Beckett, the philosopher Günther Anders wrote: "The clown is imbued with a sadness that, reflecting the sad fate of humanity in general, unites the hearts of all people and facilitates this solidarity. The farce seems to have become a refuge for human love: the complicity of the sad serves as the final comfort. And even if the consolation does not know why it comforts and on which Godot it delays - it proves that warmth is more important than meaning; and that it is not the metaphysician who should have the final word, but only the friend of humanity.".
