“My way of joking is to tell the truth. It's the funniest joke in the world.”

“Suppose the world were only one of God's jokes, would you work any the less to make it a good joke instead of a bad one?”

“If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.”

“Would the world ever have been made if its maker had been afraid of making trouble?Making life means makingtrouble. There’s only one way of escaping trouble; and that’s killing things.”

“Get out of my way; for I won't stop for you.”

“That is what all the poets do: they talk to themselves outloud and the world overhears them. But it's horribly lonely not to hear someone else talk sometimes.”

“All great truths begin as blasphemies.”
