Humor Quotes

When you do find humor in trying times, one of the first and most important changes you experience is that you see your perplexing problems in a new way - you suddenly have a new perspective on them Picture Quote #1

Racial humor was about 35% of my act when I first started. But I realized that it was a crutch. What brought it home was when another comedian said to me, ‘If you changed color tomorrow, you wouldn’t have any material.’ He meant it as a put-down, but I took it as a challenge Picture Quote #1

After spending 460 days as a hostage, I did emerge a fundamentally changed person. But I think, like everyone does as they grow older and probably wiser, I can look back at my earlier life - my history, my mistakes, the joy I felt as a young woman traveling the world - with some objectivity and even some humor Picture Quote #1

My memoirs are full of humor, I had to change jokes because it was a little too dark Picture Quote #1

Humor is the fastest, fleetest way of giving -it can change pain to joy in a mere millisecond Picture Quote #1

Humor is how you change people’s opinions, and if you can make someone laugh, they’ll listen, even if they hate you Picture Quote #1

When I play a game, I want to play, not necessarily laugh. If you try to make me laugh at the expense of interactivity, then you’ve just created another funny game that isn’t very fun. The videogame medium itself is a terrible place for complicated humor, drama, and character development Picture Quote #1

I think there’s plenty of room, even in the most serious activist circles, for humor. Humor can be very effective both to inspire, and as a weapon. Just ask Frank Zappa and Charlie Chaplin Picture Quote #1

Charlie Chaplin said something to the effect that humor is an act of defiance, that we must laugh in the face of our helplessness in the forces of nature or go insane. And where is he now? Dead Picture Quote #1

Every time I’ve done comedy in, like, traditional comedy clubs, there’s always these comedians that do really well with audiences but that the other comedians hate because they’re just, you know, doing kind of cheap stuff like dancing around or doing, like, very kind of base sex humor a lot, and stuff like that Picture Quote #1

I was that weird kid that checked out all of the non-fiction paranormal studies books from the library. I’ve always been fascinated by the supernatural, particularly movies and TV shows that manage to blend humor with the horror - ‘Supernatural’, ‘Buffy’, ‘Angel.’ Picture Quote #1

I think there are probably just as many adults who would miss the humor of my books, if not more, as there are children Picture Quote #1

I like subversive humor, freckles, women’s knees and long hair, the laughter of playing children, and a girl running down the street Picture Quote #1

Humor is the oxygen of children’s literature. There’s a lot of competition for children’s time, but even kids who hate to read want to read a funny book Picture Quote #1

I guess I try to find the humor by juxtaposing deeper themes in literature with what people perceive as being lighter, disposable children’s fare in comics Picture Quote #1

Humor is important. If you’re going to tell any sort of realistic story, you’re going to have to have humor in it, because people are funny. Clever people especially Picture Quote #1

I think humor is like a shield that lets you get as close to the sad sad flame as possible - far closer, oftentimes, than drama Picture Quote #1

There is a close relationship between the ha-ha of humor and the aha! of discovery Picture Quote #1
