Dan Phillips:  

disappears when men are turning a country into a totalitarian state is comedy and comics. because we are laughed at, i don't think people really understand how essential we are to their sanity. groucho marx. i ain't got no more enemies. shove off, captain. an over optimistic steve mcqueen to richard crenna in the sand pebbles. just think, geecko! i will put the brain of this baboon into the skull of this human being to create the world's FIRST MANKEY!! HEE HEE HEE!!! My joke about Dubya, and the result of too many B Horror movies! the man who dies rich dies disgraced. andrew carnegie, who on this point meant it! you knew the job was dangerous when you took it! super chicken to fred. a battle! are you sure you know what a battle is? between a battle won and a battle lost, there are empires, kingdoms, the world---or nothing. napoleon before waterloo. nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. the duke of wellington shortly after waterloo.". More about Dan:"One lesson i've learned is if you don't let go of past hurt, however deep, or past anger, however justified, you turn into the jerk. difficulty in letting go briefly interfered with some of my family relations, and a negative person harmed, but did not destroy, a friendship that is dear to me. i've also learned that an ability to laugh at life can see people through their trials.".
