"The comic spirit is given to us in order that we may analyze, weigh, and clarify things in us which nettle us, or which we are outgrowing, or trying to reshape."
Wilder, Thornton
"The guy has baggy pants, flat feet, the most miserable, bedraggled-looking little bastard you ever saw; makes itchy gestures as though he's got crabs under his arms -- but he's funny."
Ford, Sterling
"The only honest art form is laughter, comedy. You can't fake it... try to fake three laughs in an hour -- ha ha ha ha ha -- they'll take you away, man. You can't."
Bruce, Lenny
"The only rules comedy can tolerate are those of taste, and the only limitations those of libel."
Thurber, James
"The test of a real comedian is whether you laugh at him before he opens his mouth."
Nathan, George Jean
"There is not one female comic who was beautiful as a little girl."
Rivers, Joan
"Though it make the unskillful laugh, cannot but make the judicious grieve."
Shakespeare, William
"We are living in the machine age. For the first time in history the comedian has been compelled to supply himself with jokes and comedy material to compete with the machine. Whether he knows it or not, the comedian is on a treadmill to oblivion."
Allen, Fred A.
"We mustn't complain too much of being comedians -- it's an honorable profession. If only we could be good ones the world might gain at least a sense of style. We have failed -- that's all. We are bad comedians, we aren't bad men."
Greene, Graham
"When humor can be made to alternate with melancholy, one has a success, but when the same things are funny and melancholic at the same time, it's just wonderful."
Truffaut, Francois
