Quote by Jonathan Goldstein

“When David wasn't ruling, he would ponder all the various forms of laughter there could be. So far, he had only categorized four: laughter at your own expense, laughter at the expense of others, laughter at the human predicament, and laughter at small animals falling off tables.”

“لماذا نصرّ على معرفة خفايا الآخرين؟ لماذا يقتلنا الفضول لسماع نكباتهم، ثمّ لا نستطيع أن نغيّر شيئاً في واقعهم؟ أنفعل أكثر من أن نستمع بحزن يلوح في أعيننا، ووجه تبدو عليه الكآبة، ثمّ بعد لحظات ترانا نضحك ونقهقه في الرّواق الآخر مع آخرين؟”

“I don’t remember now who took the photo of us, but I’ve had it in my room for years. We’re leaning out of our windows and we’re laughing at each other with joyfulness purer than anything to do with the polite smiling you get used to doing when you get older. The photo has the kind of proper smiles that happen when you’re looking straight into the face of someone who’s been your best friend for a long time.”

“Laughter is the only free emotion - the only one that can't be compelled. We can be made to fear. We can even be made to believe we're in love because, if we're kept dependent and isolated for long enough, we bond in order to survive. But laughter explodes like an aha! It comes when the punch line changes everything that has gone before, when two opposites collide and make a third and when we suddenly see a new reality...laughter is an orgasm of the mind.”
