A clown QUOTES

2 " Travis: I didn’t know they made permanent makeup. I looked like a clown for a month.
Connor: Yeah. They put a curse on me so that no matter what I wore, my clothes were two sizes too small and I felt like a geek.
Travis: You are a geek. "

― Rick Riordan , The Demigod Files (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #4.5)

3 " You can make fun of yourself and people will laugh at you. If you’re smart, you’ll end up as a comedian. If you’re not, you’ll end up as a clown. "

― Ljupka Cvetanova , The New Land

4 " Established politicians are also bumping into a new cast of characters within corridors of legislative power. In 2010 parliamentary elections in Brazil, for example, the candidate who won the most votes anywhere in the country (and the second-most-voted congressman in the country's history) was a clown - an actual clown who went by the name of Tiririca and wore his clown costume while he campaigned. His platform was as anti-politician as it gets. " I don't know what a representative in congress does," he told voters in YouTube video that attracted millions of voters, " but if you send me there I will tell you" . He also explained that his goal was " to help needy people in this country, but especially my family" . "

5 " I think of myself as an intelligent, sensitive human being with the soul of a clown which always forces me to blow it at the most important moments. "

― Jim Morrison

6 " most common people oft he market-place much prefer light literature to improving books. The problem is, that so many romances contain slanderous anecdotes about sovereigns and ministers or cast aspersions upon man’s wives and daughters so that they are packed with sex and violence. Even worse are those writers of the breeze-and-moonlight school, who corrupt the young with pornography and filth. As for books of the beauty-and-talented-scholar type, a thousand are written to a single pattern and none escapes bordering on indecency. They are filled with allusions to handsome, talented young men and beautiful, refined girls in history; but in order to insert a couple of his own love poems, the author invents stereotyped heroes and heroines with the inevitable low character to make trouble between them like a clown in a play, and makes even the slave girls talk pedantic nonsense. So all these novels are full of contradictions and absurdly unnatural. "

― Cao Xueqin , The Story of the Stone, or The Dream of the Red Chamber, Vol. 1: The Golden Days (Chapters 1-26)

7 " My paranoia wasn't always right, but just to be on the safe side, I never went to sleep with a clown in the room. "

― Mark Henwick , Hidden Trump (Bite Back, #2)

8 " Never underestimate a clown with a book. "

― Rawi Hage , Carnival

9 " A teacher asked me once, what I wanted to be when I grew up. I told her a clown and she asked me if I was joking "

10 " People who know me, they know I have a sense of humor, I'm a bit of a joker, a bit of a clown really, and I would love someone to exploit that side of me and send me a romantic comedy. "

11 " Only comedians can talk about death, life, God and Virgin Mary. If I was a tragic actor, I couldn't allow myself. But with this accent I can do it. I can talk with death in person because I am a clown. Yes. And I am proud to be a clown - very much. "
