Art is, to a larger extent than people would like to think, a productive licking of the wounds Picture Quote #1

Something is funny, most of all, because it’s true, and because the velocity of insight into this truth exceeds our normal standards.

Something is funny because it offers a temporary reprieve from the hardship of seeing the world as it actually is. Something is funny because it is able to suggest gently that even the worst of our circumstances and sins is subject to eventual mercy Picture Quote #1
