“Everything that begins as comedy ends as a comic monologue, but we aren't laughing anymore.”

“Comedy and terror and autobiography and comics and literature-they're all the same thing. To me.”

“Mankind is immortalin the comic perspective not by virtue of man's subjugation of naturebut by virtue of man's subjection to it. The "fall" in tragedy ends indeath; the fall in comedy ends in bed, where, by natures's arithmetic,one and one make a brand new one.”

“Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that… Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world. And we laugh, we laugh, with a will, in the beginning. But it's always the same thing. Yes, it's like the funny story we have heard too often, we still find it funny, but we don't laugh any more.”

“The Innocent Mage is come , and we stand at the beginning of the end of everything”

“Life is a drama full of tragedy and comedy. You should learn to enjoy the comic episodes a little more.”
