Godot is whatever it is in life that you are waiting for: 'I'm waiting to win the lottery. I'm waiting to fall in love'. For me, as a child, it was Christmas. At least that eventually came.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As a kid, I loved 'Godot' because of the poetry and the humor and the strangeness, but then as you get older, it's much more resonant.
Since I came at 'Godot' from a God-based frame of mind, it didn't strike me as absurdist. It struck me as characters waiting for proof of God's existence.
Everything else can wait, but the search for God cannot wait.
My mom used to tell me when I was little, 'When it rains, it's God's manifestation - a big day's waiting to happen.'
No holiday, no job, no amount of money, not even my own security can mean more to me than my love for God.
For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith, But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
That's the shock: All cliches are true. The years really do speed by. Life really is as short as they tell you it is. And there really is a God - so do I buy that one? If all the other cliches are true... Hell, don't pose me that one.
Waiting for the spark from heaven to fall.
'Waiting for Godot,' when it first came out in 1950, was a very different sort of play to the plays that were in the West End at that time in London, because most of those plays were what we call drawing-room comedies.
God to me is love.
