“All men are mortal. Socrates was mortal. Therefore, all men are Socrates.”
Woody Allen (1935) American screenwriter, director, actor, comedian, author, playwright, and musician
Love and Death (1975)

You know, some men are heterosexual and some men are bisexual and some men don't think about sex at all, you know... they become lawyers.
