| gptkbp:famous_quote |
The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues.
The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing. " The duty of a comedy is to correct men by amusing them." " One should not be too quick to judge others." " The greatest of all the evils is to be a fool." " A man who is not a fool is a man who is not a man." " I am not a man of letters, but a man of the theater." " The duty of a comedian is to make people laugh." " A good play is a mirror of life." " The play is the thing." One should eat to live, not live to eat. The duty of a comedian is to make the audience laugh. A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool. " Comedy is the art of making people laugh without making them think." " The greatest of all the arts is the art of the theater." |
