“Ouvi uma piada uma vez: Um homem vai ao médico, diz que está deprimido. Diz que a vida parece dura e cruel. Conta que se sente só num mundo ameaçador onde o que se anuncia é vago e incerto.
O médico diz: O tratamento é simples. O grande palhaço Pagliacci está na cidade, assista ao espetáculo. Isso deve animá-lo.
O homem se desfaz em lágrimas. E diz: Mas, doutor… Eu sou o Pagliacci.
Boa piada. Todo mundo ri. Rufam os tambores. Desce o pano.”

Watchmen
