All that the comedian has to show for his years of work and aggravation is the echo of forgotten laughter.

The test of a real comedian is whether you laugh at him before he opens his mouth.

Who are a little wise, the best fools be.

All comedians are people who really deeply consider the human experience not only a dirty trick perpetrated by a totally meaningless procedure of accidents, but an unbearable ordeal every day, which can be made tolerable only by mockery in one form or another.
