“It is the test of a good religion whether you can joke about it.”

“Senses of humor define people, as factions, deeper rooted than religious or political opinions. When carrying out everyday tasks, opinions are rather easy to set aside, but those whom a person shares a sense of humor with are his closest friends. They are always there to make the biggest influence.”

“Respect? Of course, always, to all, because everything seems funnier when you’re trying to show respect.”

“And I ask myself what it is about me that makes this wonderful, beautiful woman return. Is it because I’m pathetic, helpless in my current state, completely dependent on her? Or is it my sense of humour, my willingness to tease her, to joke my way into painful, secret places? Do I help her understand herself? Do I make her happy? Do I do something for her that her husband and son can’t do? Has she fallen in love with me?As the days pass and I continue to heal, my body knitting itself back together, I begin to allow myself to think that she has.”

“Wit seduces by signaling intelligence without nerdiness.”

“To be a philosopher, just reverse everything you have ever been told…and have a sense of humor doing it.”

“Everyone has a sense of humor. If you don’t laugh at jokes, you probably laugh at opinions.”

“If fate doesn’t make you laugh, you just don’t get the joke.”
