Thank you T for your trenchant post: the point you emphasize in your selected quote, a summary of Beckett's struggle to convey, the naval gazing of these posters waiting for some magic upload of an apotropaic phrase that will solve their life conflicts. You may be the single guy (I assume you are a guy, and single) poster who was impacted by the boredom of waiting....for some poster to say something of his pain.
One of my favourites: "To know you can do better next time, indescribably better, and that there is no next time and that it is a blessing there is not. Now there's a thought to going on with"
great video! I'd love the school of life to make more academic videos- videos pertaining to literature, philosophy etc. Really appreciate the work you guys are doing!
Great video... I love how Beckett's works especially Waiting for Godot can be interpreted in different ways. For me it meant the endless cycle of human suffering, we just keep waiting and waiting for things to get better, for someone to come and save/help us.
Do Jorge Luis Borges please! I see you lack spanish-speaking authors, a lack which Borges would marvelously fill. And of course, excellent video. Just as always
I agree! As a brazilian and also a latin-american, there are so many writers they can talk about, like Neruda, Gabriel Garcia Marquez (nobel prize), Clarice Lispector, Machado de Assis, Guimarães Rosa, José Saramago (portuguese, also nobel prize laureate) etc. Although they've been producing great videos, literature exists beyond europe and united states.
Chema Vazquez Indeed! He would make a great video. But i think if the channel wants to start big with hispanic writers, it should be with Borges. Borges or Cervantes
Waiting for Godot was a weird play but perhaps what makes it timeless is the objectivity of the writing and how we can interpret it in myriad ways, based on what we believe to be 'Godot'.
Really enjoyed 'Waiting For Godot' actually, and 'Play' was an interesting experience too - my friends at drama school show me his works, and they're good.
Waiting for Godot was the greatest theater I've seen so far. I loved laughing my head off while also feeling intense empathy and wonderment. I'll be looking for his other later works, too, such as Molloy. I tell my Christian friends that "Perhaps" is a reassuring response, not an alienation to creeds.
Thanks for uploading this a week before my GCSE literature exam, this video reassures my option of choosing English Literature for A levels. Just shows how important, complex and beautiful literature is.
School of life has taught me many things, and I am forever in debt to this channel. But it is people like you who spend a minute of their day to say something positive that in turn brings a great effect to one's day- ever so subtly, that will ultimately be the cause for a positive change in the world. So all I can say is- thank you.
amreen shaju Another reason I like SOL is even though the world is full of different people with many cultures, they bring too light how very similar we all are deep down inside. Most people from all cultural backgrounds just want to love and be loved, to live peacefully and to provide a safe educational environment for our children and loved ones. Amreen I hope you have a brilliant day full of love and happiness. :)
Thank you for adding perspective on the challenging works of this remarkable playwright. It adds a dark humor to the prose of Camus and Sartre, and Nietzche’s nihilism. I truly enjoyed it. Look forward to reading their works again.
These vidoes are helping me get through school. You say it so fascinatingly, I cant help but rewatch them. Got an exam soon. Thanks to this I might nail it.
Would love it if you did one on Thomas Pynchon! He's had such a large influence on postmodernism and is so interesting to hear about precisely because of how little we know about him
Thank you School of Life! These videos focused on an individual and their life's work are my favourite of your video formats. Please do more of them! If you haven't already done them, perhaps you could do videos on Hannah Arendt, Carl Jung, and Erasmus.
Thank you! I've been missing these biographical videos. I know a lot of research and time goes into making them, but it is so worth it. I rewatch them several times a week, så it's nice with some new ones. Keep up the good work!
You reeaaally need to do one on Kurt Vonnegut, and a philosophy video on JS Mill, please! Thank you for everything you do! PS: a philosophy video on Peter Singer seems absolutely necessary at some point as well! Please and thank you.
" You are human beings nonetheless. As far as one can see Of the same species as myself" I find these words very helpful when I get stuck with certain type of very difficult people. I mean the kind of people, where you need to make an enormous effort to understand. In this case it would be good to keep Beckett in mind together with Terence who said: " Nothing human is alien to me". 2. " Perhaps" is a very wise word indeed. A psychologist once said that the greatest sign of mental health is " flexibility". That's why a person who is full of rock solid convictions and certainties cannot be very sane, despite seeming very confident .It seems that becoming wise doesn't mean to be more and more certain over time, but rather learning to be more "at peace with uncertainty". There is an incredible RADIOLAB podcast episode about this, it is called " Are you sure". . For friends who may not know, that's a two-time Peabody Award winner, incredible podcast. They sometimes spend 2 years investigating for one episode. Don't miss it! 3. Talking about how complex the truth can be, I remembered these words by the Nobel Laureate Physicist Frank Wilczek: “You can recognise a deep truth by the feature that its opposite is also a deep truth.” If you want to know more, you can hear him talking about this on an " On Being with Krista Tippett" podcast. 4. It is very true that we are either in the past or in the future. Always craving for something that we don't have. It has a lot to do with our terror of death too. As long as you wish to have this and that, you don't have to think about the fact that there will be a LAST day. But Meditation helps enormously. I have found the following lines in a book I liked a lot. " Re-igniting your innate human curiosity is a wonderful way of dealing skilfully with the frantic world in which we so often live. You'll soon discover that although you feel time-poor, you are actually MOMENT-RICH. " ( From " Mindfulness" by Mark Williams) Thanks a lot for this valuable lesson and for the wonderful animation. What I loved the most is the part when you talked about "a fragile necessary grace".
"To know that you can do better next time; indescribably better, and that there is no next time, and that it is a blessing there is not. There's a thought to be going on with."
People were too stupid to appreciate Beckett's novels and plays when they were first published and still are. I've got all his work and I'd say the best thing he ever did was Watt, funniest book ever written.
Your Literature type contents are really good! Actually these kinda are very important video under 10 mins to explain the insight of a person and work of his or her life. Also I love other SOL video types!
I think anyone who has experienced mental health issues like high anxiety, or just depressed at the fact of getting old,can relate to his plays,especially,,Endgame.
Thank you so much! I love your videos and I became addicted to them. I am learning so much and I am igniting my thirst for reading after your thrust and motivation. Thanks so much!
The life and work of Aldous Huxley should be in this collection of videos, he start writing poetry then move to short tales and then create dystopian societies while traveling around the world, amazing life and amazing literature
Can you do an episode on pets? Bonding/deep attachment, unconditional love, psychological development, family/fur babies, compassion/sympathy, venerability/understanding, so forth. Thanks
Thank you School of Life for introducing me to all of these great artists and influencing me to read their works. have you guys featured any people of colour here?
Teodora Goidea eram doar curios cum l-ar expune Alain. Dar de ce spui "niciun" . Am fost odata intr-o excursie si am trecut pe langa mormantul lui Eminescu si erau 2 tineri care ii aduceau un omagiu si recitau versuri. Am intrat in vorba cu ei si am fost uimit sa vad ca erau nemti( dar care erau maaari fani ai lui Eminescu)
frumos! no, eu zic că e puțin probabil să fie de interes - totuși, e un autor obscur pe plan european, chiar dacă ne convine sau nu. că sunt oameni care au auzit de el și le place poezia romantică, adolescenți.. mă rog. cred că dacă ar face despre vreun autor român, cărtărescu, dan lungu sau gabriela adameșteanu ar merita expuși mai degrabă.
Great video, haven't read anything by Beckett yet, but I'm gonna! His works sounds very postmodernist too (questions of identity, who are we, what are we) and seems to be extremely modern for it's time
@SchoolofLife, have you at all considered providing a list of what's in production and what's scheduled to be done? I think all of your subscribers would appreciate such a list, and with it, be able to make more informed suggestions. (It's also a good way of setting expectations -- Seneca would certainly be in favor)
I'm not sure if anyone noticed this but at around the two minute mark, there is meant to be a photo of Beckett, but instead, it's just Max Stirner's head photoshopped onto a suit. Not sure what you're trying to say....
Literature was born not the day when a boy crying wolf, wolf came running out of the Neanderthal valley with a big gray wolf at his heels: literature was born on the day when a boy came crying wolf, wolf and there was no wolf behind him. That the poor little fellow because he lied too often was finally eaten up by a real beast is quite incidental. But here is what is important. Between the wolf in the tall grass and the wolf in the tall story there is a shimmering go-between. That go-between, that prism, is the art of literature. ― Vladimir Nabokov, Lectures on Literature
last week i watched "Waiting for Godot" and then searched The School of Life for a video on Samuel Beckett but found nothing, and thought they need to make one about him, it seems I was lucky not to wait so much for this Godot :) and here you go guys. nice one.
For political theory, I think it would be interesting to do a video on Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov. He was a significant departure from traditional Marxist theory, and an incredibly important figure.
Please do T.S Eliot and Ezra Pound. I think the latter needs a backround discussion that focuses on the writers he helped get published and get them to achieve in their greatest creations.
23 Oktober 1969. Samuel Beckett. The Nobel Prize. What a humiliation for such a proud man. The sadness of being understood! Beckett or the anti-Zarathustra.The post-humanity vision (as we say "post-Christianity") Beckett or the apotheosis of the subhuman
He didn't experience it as a humiliation. The attitude you portray is immature. Beckett largely succeeded in leaving most of such poseur allures behind him after the war.
Think you could do a video listing the best two pieces of each philosopher and writer to read, so we can get a look into each one without reading everything they have ever written?????

Do Jorge Luis Borges please! I see you lack spanish-speaking authors, a lack which Borges would marvelously fill.

Gary Loor, They should make Julio Cortazar as well, his work is fantastic
Yea!
+Gustavo Soares I wish they would do one on Machado do Assis, he's my favorite luso writer. Him and Fernando Pessoa
Chema Vazquez Indeed! He would make a great video. But i think if the channel wants to start big with hispanic writers, it should be with Borges. Borges or Cervantes
Waiting for Godot was a weird play but perhaps what makes it timeless is the objectivity of the writing and how we can interpret it in myriad ways, based on what we believe to be 'Godot'.
I'm theatre student, and when I first saw you've done this episode about Samuel Beckett, I was extremely excited.
Gogo: Let's go
Didi: We can't
Gogo: Why not
Didi:We're waiting for Godot
Gogo:Ah!
Ah, yes!
Thank you, The School of Life, for these beautifully crafted videos.
Really enjoyed 'Waiting For Godot' actually, and 'Play' was an interesting experience too - my friends at drama school show me his works, and they're good.
I recently watched Waiting For Godot and am currently reading Molloy. I enjoy both.
Joel Fry THE UNNAMEABLE is almost unbearable.
Waiting for Godot was the greatest theater I've seen so far. I loved laughing my head off while also feeling intense empathy and wonderment. I'll be looking for his other later works, too, such as Molloy. I tell my Christian friends that "Perhaps" is a reassuring response, not an alienation to creeds.

Thank you very much, with English as my second language, this means a lot to me.

Finally a literature video. I've waited for this for ages. Oscar Wilde showed be next.
Wintery serenity. I needed that the other day. Its a warmth enhanced by the cold .
My attention span wouldn't allow me to learn these things any other way.
Thank you for this TSOL.
Finally ! I've been waiting for literature piece for a while now .
Your voice honestly makes this whole show
Thank you for adding perspective on the challenging works of this remarkable playwright. It adds a dark humor to the prose of Camus and Sartre, and Nietzche’s nihilism. I truly enjoyed it. Look forward to reading their works again.
nietzsche wasnt a nihilist
Just BRILLIANT! So well explained.SAMUEL BECKETT WAS A GENIUS.
Any chance on doing a video on Kurt Vonnegut? Would love to see one of him!
Joe Yes!
Yes that’d be amazing
Ted ed has one
Thank you, Beckett and Joyce are on here!
William Faulkner, please!
These vidoes are helping me get through school. You say it so fascinatingly, I cant help but rewatch them. Got an exam soon. Thanks to this I might nail it.
Beckett is my favorite writer and this was a fabulous overview...

I've been away from this channel for too long. Feels great to be back. 🙌🏽
Beautifully written and animated video Alan! Samuel Beckett is indeed incredibly interesting.
His writing is fine, but I was always more impressed with his time travel achievements as revealed in the documentary series Quantum Leap.
No man understands the Human Condition better than Dan Schneider: creator of Drake and Josh, Zoey 101, ICarly, and Victorious.
If this comment wasn't made an year ago I could've very well reported it lol
this didn't age well
the joke went over my head. please explain
Still true too. Life is like a feet
@@abdullahmohammedali192 i think he's just making an absurdist joke about how Dan made some good shows and that means he holds the meaning of life.
Please do a Literature video on August Strindberg. That man has so much to offer in the philosophical debate
Waiting for Godot is a relevant parable for our uncertain times dealing with covid-19.
Great! Beckett is probably my favorite author. Thanks, School of Life!
I'd love to see a video on Nikos Kazantzakis at some point.
I need help in his novel...dream of a middling women...I cant understand it...can you help
Waiting for Godot is one of the funniest things i've ever seen in a theatre. Beautiful piece of art.
I've been waiting FOREVER for a 'Literature' video. Thank you!
You reeaaally need to do one on Kurt Vonnegut, and a philosophy video on JS Mill, please! Thank you for everything you do!
PS: a philosophy video on Peter Singer seems absolutely necessary at some point as well! Please and thank you.
Here are the lines I love the most by Beckett, from " Waiting for Godot":
" You are human beings nonetheless.
As far as one can see
Of the same species as myself"
I find these words very helpful when I get stuck with certain type of very difficult people. I mean the kind of people, where you need to make an enormous effort to understand.

Could you make a video on Victor Hugo and perhaps Nikolai Gogol as well? That would be fantastic!
You forget, as Deleuze said, the greatest Irish movie - Film with B. Keaton. Strongly recommending for all Becketts admireres.

A video about Oscar Wilde would be great too.
Please do a video for George Bernard Shaw and Derek Walcot
For political theory, I think it would be interesting to do a video on Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov. He was a significant departure from traditional Marxist theory, and an incredibly important figure.
Please do Sylvia Plath or Charlotte Brontë for Literature. Ayn Rand for Philosophy
I would love a literature video on Hunter S. Thompson!
So good, I watched it twice in a rot. Thanks
