I don't want to hurt anybody by laughing -- there is no meanness to it. I just want to laugh.”
“Sex and politics are a lot alike. You don't have to be good at them to enjoy them.”
“The Greeks bequeathed to us one of the most beautiful words in our language--the word 'enthusiasm'--en theos--a god within. The grandeur of human actions is measured by the inspiration from which they spring. Happy is he who bears a god within, and who obeys it.”
