Katzisms Part Deux

Having the pleasure of yet another semester with Professor Katz, I have yet another wonderful bevvy of one-liners. This class was in English, so perhaps they're more easy to contextualize. At any rate, this banter is top notch.

• On seeing a student pull out a fraying string on their shirt: "I hope it's not an apron string, because mom's far away"
• Dismissing a student who didn't actually register for the class: "It's like that old Groucho Marx song 'I Know I Must Be Going'"
• "You're witty if you can use "egg" and "diaper" in the same sentence...Freud would have a field day with that"
• On bohemians: "They live in a rental...they don't own property"
• "These freakish rubber curtains: just like Vegas! So they can wash the blood off...traces of blood, fecal matter, personal fluids..."
• "Hitchcock: the great sadist of American cinema"
• "Kids doing drugs. Thank God they do drugs, because that's life!"
• "LA is a vital mess of a place"
• "I don't know if any of you read the newspaper daily? Or ever?"
• "Go to the Dean's Office and ask about managing desire and you'll get a line of therapeutic bullshit"
• On reform Judaism: "Oh you're reform. Then you just invoke the name of Barbra Streisand"
• "If you can't lie, you can't live"

Bloody brilliant.

Keep it classy,
