“Most jokes state a bitter truth”
Larry Gelbart
“New opinions often appear first as jokes and fancies, then as blasphemies and treason, then as questions open to discussion, and finally as established truths.”
George Bernard Shaw
“A joke, even if it be a lame one, is nowhere so keenly relished or quickly applauded as in a murder trial.”
Mark Twain
“My way of joking is telling the truth; that is the funniest joke in the world”
“Suppose the world were only one of God's jokes, would you work any the less to make it a good joke instead of a bad one?”
“It is not necessary for the public to know whether I am joking or whether I am serious, just as it is not necessary for me to know it myself”
Salvador Dalí
“It's only funny till someone gets hurt........then it's hilarious”
