“To be honest, ... I think he'd find some of it ridiculous. But maybe, hopefully, he'd be proud of it too.”
Anthony Esposito
“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
“If at first, the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it”
Albert Einstein
“I have learned never to ridicule any man's opinion, however strange it may seem”
Arthur Conan Doyle Sr.
“The idea that addiction is somehow a psychological illness is, I think, totally ridiculous. It's as psychological as malaria. It's a matter of exposure. People, generally speaking, will take any intoxicant or any drug that gives them a pleasant effect if it is available to them.”
William S. Burroughs
“The dogma of science is that the will cannot possibly affect external forces, and I think that's just ridiculous. It's as bad as the church. My viewpoint is the exact contrary of the scientific viewpoint. I believe that if you run into somebody in the street it's for a reason. Among primitive people they say if someone was bitten by a snake he was murdered. I believe that.”
“We adore titles and heredities in our hearts and ridicule them with our mouths. This is our democratic privilege.”
Mark Twain
