Farce Quotations
History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.
Karl Marx
There are times when one would like to hang the whole human race, and finish the farce.
Mark Twain

James Madison
The animals that depend on instinct have an inherent knowledge of the laws of economics and of how to apply them; Man, with his powers of reason, has reduced economics to the level of a farce which is at once funnier and more tragic than Tobacco Road.
James Thurber
In fact, it is a farce to call any being virtuous whose virtues do not result from the exercise of its own reason.
Mary Wollstonecraft
It is a farce to call any being virtuous whose virtues do not result from the exercise of it's own reason.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Life is the farce which everyone has to perform.
Arthur Rimbaud
You see, Africa makes a fool of our idea of justice. It makes a farce of our idea of equality. It mocks our pieties. It doubts our concern. It questions our commitment. Because there is no way we can look at what's happening in Africa, and if we're honest, conclude that it would ever be allowed to happen anywhere else.
Bono
The farce is finished. I go to seek a vast perhaps.
Francois Rabelais
You don't know what the Chinese expect in the way of beauty. The presentation is just a farce. You come into a room filled with 50 people and they don't talk to you. There's very little interaction.
Helmut Jahn
