"Comedy is tragedy revisited...." - Quote by Phyllis Diller

“Before you get married you should meet your fiance's parents. It is not enough that you like his parole officer.”

“I have so many liver spots, I ought to come with a side of onions.”

“You know you're old if they have discontinued your blood type.”

“When I look at comedy, it's all self-expression. I apply that same method to my music. I came up listening to N.W.A and Snoop. Like them, it's in me to express how I feel. You might like it or you might not, but I take that stand.”

“One can play comedy, two are required for melodrama, but a tragedy demands three.”

“Humor is based on surprise, and surprise is a milder way of saying shock. It's surprise that makes the joke.”

“There is a saying in Tibetan, 'Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.' No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster.”

“Our unalienable right to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness, those rights were stripped from college kids in Blackburg and Santa Barbara, and from high schoolers at Columbine. And, and from first graders in Newtown, first graders.”

“Tragedy, he precieved, belonged to the ancient time, to a time when there were still privacy, love, and friendship, and when the members of a family stood by one another without needing to know the reason.”
