“Every comedian is furious. Age makes me angry. I'm unhappy at not being able to open packages anymore. I'm angry that libraries have gone. I hate children on planes. I'm very shallow, so they tend to be little things. To be honest, I think I was probably angry the day I was born, you know, about diapers or something.”

American comedian and writer, 1933–2014, known for her razor-sharp wit and fearless self-deprecation. She carved a niche in stand-up comedy with her unflinching honesty and sharp observations on life, culture, and the absurdities of fame. Her writing—including memoirs and essays—extended her voice beyond the stage, blending humor with keen social commentary.
