The
role of a comedian is to make the audience laugh, at
a minimum of once every fifteen seconds.
-- Lenny Bruce
1925-1966, American
Comedian
All my
humor is based upon destruction and despair. If the
whole world were tranquil, without disease and
violence, I'd be standing on the breadline right in
back of J. Edgar Hoover.
-- Lenny Bruce
1925-1966, American
Comedian
Comedy
is a tragedy plus time.
-- Carol Burnett
American Television
Comedian
True
humor springs not more from the head than from the
heart. It is not contempt; its essence is love. It
issues not in laughter, but in still smiles, which
lie far deeper.
-- Thomas Carlyle
1795-1881, Scottish
Philosopher, Author
