“Humility is not a virtue we cultivate in the abstract; it is a mark of integrity to the gospel, and all our efforts at humility must be fueled by the gospel lest they result in mere fleshly counterfeits or imitations.”

“VLADIMIR: I missed you . . . and at the same time I was happy. Isn't that a strange thing?

ESTRAGON: (shocked). Happy?

VLADIMIR: Perhaps it's not quite the right word.

ESTRAGON: And now?

VLADIMIR: Now? . . . (Joyous.) There you are again . . . (Indifferent.) There we are again. . .
(Gloomy.) There I am again.”
― Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot

“If you can laugh into the telephone, you must be a very accomplished telephonist. The very thought of the telephone makes me forget laughter.”

ESTRAGON: Apparently not.
VLADIMIR: It's only beginning.
ESTRAGON: It's awful.”
― Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot
