A Quote by Maz Jobrani

Most comics point out what everyone else is thinking but hadn't thought of verbalizing. I guess, in a way, that makes most comics seers. It just depends in what category - some choose to be the seers of relationships, some are seers of racial issues, and some are seers of political issues.

A society where the simple many obey the few seers can live; a society where all were seers could live even more fully.

On or back we must go: to stay here is death.
