the clown.

a man goes to doctor. and says that he's depressed and that life seems harsh and cruel. he also says that he feels all alone in in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. the doctor replies, "the treatment is simple. the great clown pagliacci is in town tonight. go and see him and that should pick you up." at that moment, the man bursts into tears, saying, "but doctor, i am pagliacci."



-the above is a part i remember from the Watchmen graphic novel. it was a good read. although the visuals were a lot less appealing than most graphic novels of today(think marvel), i must say that the story was good.
