Comic

Famous quotes containing the word comic:

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

    And in a comic mood
    In mid-air take to bed a wife.
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    Today’s comedian has a cross to bear that he built himself. A comedian of the older generation did an “act” and he told the audience, “This is my act.” Today’s comic is not doing an act. The audience assumes he’s telling the truth. What is truth today may be a damn lie next week.
    Lenny Bruce (1925–1966)
