Comic Standing

Famous quotes containing the words comic and/or standing:

    “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)

    “I’m telling the truth.
    I’m standing at death’s door
    and even today
    my sight falls
    on that thicket
    on the Tpt’s pure banks,
    just as before.”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
