Posted: 12/8/05 at 10:12pmWaiting For Godot may be a cliched pick but I've never seen existentialism more well-integrated in a play before. This was the ORIGINAL "show about nothing"!

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali

Probably a tossup between Beckett's "Footfalls" and "Happy Days".

Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you.
Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.
