“There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy and tragedy, humor and hurt.”
Erma Bombeck
“I want the dead lovers of the world to hear our laughter and grow sad. I want a breath of our passion to stir their dust into consciosness, to wake their ashes in pain.”
Oscar Wilde
“Ten minutes of genuine belly laughter had an anesthetic effect and would give me at least two hours of pain-free sleep”
Norman Cousins
“Pain is deeper than all thought; laughter is higher than all pain”
Elbert Hubbard
“The only honest art form is laughter, comedy. You can't fake it... try to fake three laughs in an hour -- ha ha ha ha ha -- they'll take you away, man. You can't.”
Lenny Bruce
“Laughter is the tonic, the relief, the surcease for pain.”
Charlie Chaplin
“Comedy is defiance. It's a snort of contempt in the face of fear and anxiety. And it's the laughter that allows hope to creep back on the inhale.”
