A little girl can be sweeter and badder oftener than anyone else in the world. She can jitter around, and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves, yet just when you open your mouth she stands there demure with that special look in her eyes. A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot.
~ Alan Marshall Beck The leadership instinct you are born with is the backbone. You develop the funny bone and the wishbone that go with it.
~ Elaine Agather Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
~ George Bernard Shaw The best ideas come from jokes. Make your thinking as funny as possible.
~ David Ogilvie Life was a funny thing that occured on the way to the grave.
~ Quentin Crisp The funny thing about stopping is that as soon as you do it, here you are.
~ Jon Kabit-Zinn Life does not cease to be funny when people die; any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
~ George Bernard Shaw It is funny about life: if you refuse to accept anything but the very best you will very often get it.
~ W. Somerset Maugham It is not funny that anything else should fall down only that a man should fall down. Why do we laugh Because it is a gravely religious matter it is the Fall of Man. Only man can be absurd for only man can be dignified.
~ Gilbert Keith Chesterton Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.
~ Peter Ustinov Everything is funny as long as it is happening to Somebody Else.
~ Will Rogers, Illiterate Digest (1924), "Warning to Jokers: lay off the prince" I am eternally grateful.. for my knack of finding in great books, some of them very funny books, reason enough to feel honored to be alive, no matter what else might be going on.
~ Kurt Vonnegut, Timequake, 1997
