“Someone trying to be funny probably isn't as funny as someone who doesn't want to be funny but is and can't help it. Someone being serious or angry might be funny. If you get angry, the first thing I want to do is laugh because I don't know why you're getting that angry. Pathos makes me laugh, funerals make me laugh.” IfsKnowsWantTryingFirstsHelpingMightLaughingSeriousAngryFuneralMake Me LaughPathos Author:Ricky Gervais

“To feel the suffering and then to know the pain of the unnecessariness of it. That right there has me in its grip. The only way through that is serious prayer. I can't get through it any other way.

My only other alternative is to become angry, and I can't go that direction.” KnowsWayFeelsBelieveDoeI CanPainNightSufferingDifferencesPrayerSleepSeriousLet MeAngryAlternativesMaking A Difference Author:Caroline Myss
