Laugh Quotes

“We break down our day and laugh about which of us fucked up the worst. There is no greater superpower than the ability to say “This is who I am.” Most people push that away, because they don’t want to be judged. Winners don’t care. They judge themselves, and live with the verdict. Think about how much energy and time go into trying to be someone or something you’re not. How much further along would you be if you put that same effort into being yourself?”

“Where does our laughter travel to? Does it search out monkeys in the zoo? Or settle on the heart like dew? Or cling to lip-glossed smiles on me and you? Does it hang around throughout the day? Or spread its wings and fly away? Or gather-in like puffy clouds of gray? Perhaps it hooks a rainbow’s end And melts to make the colors blend. Or paints a happy face upon a friend. Does it turn to stardust when it’s late? Or in a windstorm, circulate? Or does it simply fade and dissipate? What is our laughter’s merrymaking fate?”

“However, a good laugh is a mighty good thing , and rather too scarce a good thing; the more's the pity. So, if any one man, in his own proper person, afford stuff for a good joke to anybody, let him not be backward, but let him cheerfully allow himself to spend and be spent in that way. And the man that has anything bountifully laughable about him, be sure there is more in that man than you perhaps think.”

“That Boston show was when I began to see your mother through the eyes of her fans and realized her stage presence was more than the sum of its jokes. She was speaking to people's truths and making them laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. This was what our ayahuasca ceremonies were about: sourcing the most potent parts of ourselves and letting go of the rest. Your mother, I saw, had done just that. She was embodying experiences lie pregnancy and childbirth that are sacred to us as individuals, and celebrating these acts in a fresh new light. Asian cultures often teach us to be silent about our sexuality and filled with shame. Your mother breaks that up and transmutes pain and shame into power, like a mystical priestess.”

“If you have not prepared your mind yet to climb the ladder to greatness when you travel abroad, you had better stay back home, because the moment you cross the outer edge of your country to another, you will be blown by an irreversible breeze of change. Therefore, no matter how long you may spend in abroad, you will never return home the same again, it is either the people laugh with you or they at you.”

“Aux lecteurs: Amis lecteurs, qui ce livre lisez, Despouillez vous de toute affection; Et, le lisant, ne vous scandalisez: Il ne contient mal ne infection; Vray est qu'icy peu de perfection Vous apprendrez, si non en cas de rire; Aultre argument ne peut mon cueur elire, Voyant le dueil qui vous mine et consomme Mieulx est de risque de larmes escripre, Pour ce que rire est le propre de l'homme.”
