“Tragedy is a close-up; comedy a long shot” Buster Keaton

Quote a Week Tuesday, 2015-12-29

Today’s quote often comes to my mind, when I try to write my tales with a comedic twist.

“Dying is easy, comedy is hard” is supposedly a death bed quote attributed to character actor Edmund Gwenn.

When director and screenwriter George Seaton visited Gwenn as he lay in bed ill, George Seaton said to Gwenn “This must be terribly difficult for you.” Edmund Gwenn is supposed to have replied:

“Dying is easy, comedy is hard”

“I used to be Snow White, but I drifted” Mae West

Quote a Week Tuesday, 2015-12-15

Today’s quote is for something we all love, or as I do, love to hate, SNOW.

But seriously, snow is fun when you can travel to it and leave when you had enough, much like it is with my relatives. Snow is fun when you don’t have to shovel it, when it doesn’t cover your car in the morning and when it is not over a meter high. Snow is fun when it is a pictoresque view of which you can snap beautiful photographs and then leave for a warmer climate to publish them.

“A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water” Carl Reiner
