Human Comedy

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or comedy:

    All things by human laws created change:
    Lands to each other known, in time grow strange:
    Nations in course of many years put on
    A various face; but heaven wears always one.
    Marcus Manilius (10 B.C.–A.D. 30)

    It is comedy which typifies, where it is tragedy which individualizes; where tragedy observes the nice distinctions between man and man, comedy stresses those broad resemblances which make it difficult to tell people apart.
    Harry Levin (b. 1912)
