Humour Quotes

I don’t think a comedian should even be concerned with being cool or sexy, as soon as you do, you aren’t a comedian any more. Looks are still the most important thing for women when it comes to meeting a partner. And that’s fair enough, but a sense of humour is really important too. For starters, it’s a great indicator of whether you are going to get on. If the first time you go on a date you don’t find each other funny, there’s a fundamental problem Picture Quote #1

Life is a huge farce, and the advantage of possessing a sense of humour is that it enables one to defy fate with mocking laughter Picture Quote #1

The writing is a joy, so seamless you nearly miss the sheer artistry of the style and the terrific, wry humour Picture Quote #1

Dad made me laugh a lot. He was a real comedian. He had a real sarcastic sense of humour, he could really make a fool out of people. I have to watch it a little bit, because I caught that habit from him. I was really fond of him. He was my idol Picture Quote #1

Books are never out of humour; never envious or jealous, they answer all questions with readiness;... they teach us how to live and how to die; they dispel melancholy by their mirth, and amuse by their wit; they prepare the soul to suffer everything and desire nothing; they introduce us to ourselves Picture Quote #1

Comedy is the most difficult. Comic timing is something which you either have it in you, or you don’t. You have to have a good sense of humour to be able to understand it. A split second can make you lose the punch Picture Quote #1

What is really important to me is a sense of humour and a mischief about life. Life is just too boring otherwise Picture Quote #1

Faeries are not fantasy, but a connection to reality. Faeries are irrational, poetic, absurd, and very, very wise. Faeries say there is nonsense in dogma, and sense in nonsense. Faeries express themselves with high seriousness and low humour. Faeries are resistant to all definitions Picture Quote #1

What I find interesting is how close you can run the laughter along the seam of seriousness, and occasionally cross it, so that half the house genuinely doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Custard pie humour is fairly universal, but at the other end, which I’m more interested in, there’s the humour that hovers on the darkness, that walks in the shadow of something else, not always that obvious Picture Quote #1

My face hasn’t matured as I’ve grown up, and neither has my sense of humour. In the mirror, I see an older version of myself as a child, although I do have more wrinkles and freckles Picture Quote #1

I’m a diplomat by nature. I help find the middle ground. I crack a joke and use humour to help resolve potentially vicious situations quickly. It gets things in perspective and helps everyone to see that things aren’t as bad as they seem Picture Quote #1

The interesting thing is that you don’t often meet a poet who doesn’t have a sense of humour, and some of them do keep it out of their poems because they’re afraid of being seen as light versifiers Picture Quote #1

I always have humour in my action movies. I think characters that make jokes under fire are more real. It somehow helps put you in their shoes Picture Quote #1

Humour is like violence. They both come to you unexpectedly, and the more unpredictable they both are, the better it gets Picture Quote #1

I’m just an actor. If it’s drama, I add as much humour as the part will stand. And if it’s a comedy, add as much drama as you can, so it balances out; you don’t wanna be too serious Picture Quote #1

I can’t pretend that I’m a great student of the art of comedy because anybody that becomes philosophical about humour doesn’t know what he’s talking about Picture Quote #1

Any man will admit if need be that his sight is not good, or that he cannot swim or shoots badly with a rifle, but to touch upon his sense of humour is to give him mortal affront Picture Quote #1

The ability to laugh at life is right at the top, with love and communication, in the hierarchy of our needs. Humour has much to do with pain; it exaggerates the anxieties and absurdities we feel, so that we gain distance and through laughter, relief Picture Quote #1

The more ignoble I find life, the more strongly I react by contradiction, in humour and in an outburst of liberty and expansion Picture Quote #1

When you find an unwillingness to rise early in the morning, make this short speech to yourself: I am getting up now to do the business of a man; and am I out of humour for going about that I was made for, and for the sake of which I was sent into the world? Was I then designed for nothing but to doze and keep warm beneath the counterpane? Well! but this is a comfortable way of living Picture Quote #1

Humour in its highest reach mingles with pathos: it voices sorrow for our human lot and reconciliation with it Picture Quote #1

Humour is essentially a comforter, reconciling us to things as they are in contrast to things as they might be Picture Quote #1

Two things people throughout history have had in common are hatred and humour. I am proud that I have been able to use humour to lessen people’s hatred Picture Quote #1

The world belongs to those who set out to conquer it armed with self confidence and good humour Picture Quote #1

A good marriage is loving someone in a lot of different circumstances. Respect for them and their views and ideas and the life that they’re leading with you. Shared values and interests. A good sense of humour. And a little volatility along the way Picture Quote #1

Humour is the most engaging cowardice. With it myself I have been able to hold some of my enemy in play far out of gunshot Picture Quote #1

The worst in life, we are told, is compatible with the best in art. So too the worst in life is compatible with the best in humour Picture Quote #1

I was trying for years to woo people through humour, but it seems flash cars are much easier Picture Quote #1

Because I was a shy and awkward child, I used humour to deflect attention. It was a controlling mechanism. Because I could use it to control my image Picture Quote #1

My mother taught me what it is to have a sense of humour; my dad, who was a headmaster, everything you need to know about hard work. My dad is the most decent man you could come across Picture Quote #1
