“Humour is...the all-consoling and...the all-excusing, grace of life.”
“Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not. A sense of humour was provided to console him for what he is.”
“Sometimes humour is all we have to say the things that can't be said.”
“All I know about humour is that I don't know anything about it.”
“I think the sun where he were born drew all such humours from him.”
“It's all rot that they put in the war-news about the good humour of the troops, how they are arranging dances almost before they are out of the front-line. We don't act like that because we are in a good humour: we are in a good humour because otherwise we should go to pieces.”
