"Nothing is our except time."

-- Seneca the Elder

“Normally, I name my characters after famous comedians.”
“I'm totally at home on the stage. That's where I live. That's where I was born. That's where I'm safe.”
“The evils of mankind are caused, not by the primary aggressiveness of individuals, but by their self-transcending identification with groups whose common denominator is low intelligence and high emotionality.”
“I would rather be my own tyrant than have someone else tyrannize me.”
“Genuine equality means not treating everyone the same, but attending equally to everyoneâ€™s different needs.”
“The existence of a world without God seems to me less absurd than the presence of a God, existing in all of his perfection, creating imperfect man in order to make him run the risk of Hell.”
“Under the old rules, Steve Bannon could never get a security clearance. But there could be a new rule, the Trump Rule.”
“To hear that your neighbor was worse off than yourself was not an altogether unpleasant experience.”
