“I know that there are things that never have been funny, and never will be. And I know that ridicule may be a shield, but it is not a weapon.”
Dorothy Parker
“Be careful going in search of adventure -- it's ridiculously easy to find.”
William Least Heat Moon
“I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous - everyone hasn't met me yet.”
Rodney Dangerfield
“It was tough on me. I understand that most people will just ridicule and make fun of it, but unless you understand my background, where I come from and the passion that my family and my heritage holds, I don't expect anyone to understand that.”
Alex Rodriguez
“We adore titles and heredities in our hearts and ridicule them with our mouths. This is our democratic privilege.”
Mark Twain
“It is commonly said that ridicule is the best test of truth; for that it will not stick where it is not just. I deny it. A truth learned in a certain light, and attacked in certain words, by men of wit and humor, may, and often doth, become ridiculous, at least so far, that the truth is only remembered and repeated for the sake of the ridicule.”
Lord Chesterfield
“It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.”
Agatha Christie
