" Robme niečo, kým sa nám núka príležitosť! Nie každý deň nás niekto potrebuje. Nie, naozaj nemožno povedať, že by niekto potreboval akurát nás. Druhí by to tiež dokázali a možno aj lepšie. Výzva, ktorú sme práve počuli, je adresovaná skôr celému ľudstvu. Ale na tomto mieste a v tejto chvíli, ľudstvo, to sme my, či sa nám to páči, alebo nie. "

" Să fi dormit eu, în timp ce toți ceilalți sufereau? Și în clipa asta dorm, oare? Mâine, când o să mă trezesc, ce-o să spun despre ziua de azi?... Călare pe un mormânt și naștere grea. Din fundul gropii, visător, groparul pune lanțuri și cătușe. Avem timp să înbătrânim. Văzduhul e plin de țipetele noastre. Dar obișnuința e o mare surdină. Și pe mine mă privește un altul, zicându-și: doarme, nu știe, să doarmă. "

" Was I sleeping, while the others suffered? Am I sleeping now? Tomorrow, when I wake, or think I do, what shall I say of today? That with Estragon my friend, at this place, until the fall of night, I waited for Godot? That Pozzo passed, with his carrier, and that he spoke to us? Probably. But in all that what truth will there be? [Estragon, having struggled with his boots in vain, is dozing off again. Vladimir looks at him.] He'll know nothing. He'll tell me about the blows he received and I'll give him a carrot. [Pause.] Astride of a grave and a difficult birth. Down in the hole, lingeringly, the gravedigger puts on the forceps. We have time to grow old. The air is full of our cries. [He listens.] But habit is a great deadener. [He looks again at Estragon.] At me too someone is looking, of me too someone is saying. He is sleeping, he knows nothing, let him sleep on. [Pause.] I can't go on! [Pause.] What have I said? "
