Comic

Famous quotes containing the word comic:

“Nature is a setting that fits equally well a comic or a mourning piece. In good health, the air is a cordial of incredible virtue. Crossing a bare common, in snow puddles, at twilight, under a clouded sky, without having in my thoughts any occurrence of special good fortune, I have enjoyed a perfect exhilaration. I am glad to the brink of fear.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“The real charm of the United States is that it is the only comic country ever heard of.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)

“The comic is the perception of the opposite; humor is the feeling of it.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
