Famous quotes containing the words comic and/or poet:
“Todays 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. Todays comic is not doing an act. The audience assumes hes telling the truth. What is truth today may be a damn lie next week.”
—Lenny Bruce (19251966)
“But though Heaven made him poor, with reverence speaking,
He never was a poet of Gods making;
The midwife laid her hand on his thick skull,
With this prophetic blessingBe thou dull;”
