Famous quotes containing the words washington and/or bruce:

    You can’t hold a man down without staying down with him.
    —Booker T. Washington (1856–1915)

    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)
