The good news is that your clutch is fine, but your clutch master cylinder is undoubtly in need of replacement. Yearly flushes of the brake fluid help it live longer, but sooner or later the thing will die with just the symptoms you descirbe. It is located just above the clutch pedal on the interior of the car and cost about $150, though some have had luck rebuilding them. Instructions for both are on the web page below. You also have to bleed the system when you are done which can be a bit tricky. There is also the possibility that the slave cylinder is gone, which is much more involved to replace, as to change out the whole clutch or slave cylinder you have to pull the transmission. The sub frame is specifically hinged for the purpose. Chances are it's the clutch MC though.
Good luck!
