Euripides, Electra, 413 B.C. quotes
"I care for riches, to make giftsTo friends, or lead a sick man back to healthWith ease and plenty. Else small aid is wealthFor daily gladness; once a man be doneWith hunger, rich and poor are all as one."
When someone who is known for being comedic does something straight, it' s always 'a big breakthrough' or a 'radical departure.'
Comedy is tragedy plus time.
"I care for riches, to make giftsTo friends, or lead a sick man back to healthWith ease and plenty. Else small aid is wealthFor daily gladness; once a man be doneWith hunger, rich and poor are all as one."
