Hour Comic

Famous quotes containing the words hour and/or comic:

    ‘Tis but an hour ago since it was nine,
    And after one hour more ‘twill be eleven,
    And so from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe,
    And then from hour to hour, we rot and rot;
    And thereby hangs a tale.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    What the Journal posits is not the tragic question, the Madman’s question: “Who am I?”, but the comic question, the Bewildered Man’s question: “Am I?” A comic—a comedian, that’s what the Journal keeper is.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
