Its very hard for a woman in comedy. Its hard for women to be bold and not care what anyone, particularly men, think. Maybe that is why so many women comics are lesbians. – Margaret Cho
[T]he poetic soul… a living lyre, it only lives enough to echo, and all that it has of life it pours out, and spends in song: the inspiring tripod which the poet ascends, at once unites him to, and separates him from, society. – Alexandre Vinet (1797–1847)
