“Without love and laughter there is no joy; live amid love and laughter.”

“I'm not living the life I thought I would lead, but it does have meaning, purpose. There is love... there is joy... there is laughter.”

“Amid the stillness of the night, in the depths of the ravine, from the direction in which the corpses lay suddenly resounded a kind of inhuman, frightful laughter in which quivered despair, and joy, and cruelty, and suffering, and pain, and sobbing, and derision; the heart-rending and spasmodic laughter of the insane or condemned.”

“And so, with laughter and love, we lived happily ever after.”

“The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these, the spirit blooms timidly, and struggles to the light amid the thorns.”

“If only she could be so oblivious again, to feel such love without knowing it, mistaking it for laughter. ”
