Carol Burnett Show

Famous quotes containing the words carol, burnett and/or show:

    Prose—it might be speculated—is discourse; poetry ellipsis. Prose is spoken aloud; poetry overheard. The one is presumably articulate and social, a shared language, the voice of “communication”; the other is private, allusive, teasing, sly, idiosyncratic as the spider’s delicate web, a kind of witchcraft unfathomable to ordinary minds.
    —Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)

    If you want to know the feeling [of labor pain], just take your bottom lip and pull it over your head.
    —Carol Burnett (20th century)

    I have not from your eyes that gentleness
    And show of love as I was wont to have.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
