Famous quotes containing the words american and/or comedian:
“The American doctrinaire is the converse of the American demagogue, and, in this way, is scarcely less injurious to the public. The first deals in poetry, the last in cant. He is as much a visionary on one side, as the extreme theoretical democrat is a visionary on the other.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
“He is like a comedian who for over thirty years has been unable to think of any new jokes.”
—Edward James (1907–1984)
