“Black Humor (Umor): a sensation --of the theatrical (and joyless) pointlessness of everything.”
“To my mind, a well-developed sense of humor is the surest indication of a person's humanity, no matter how black and bitter that humor may be.”
“Just tell the truth, and they'll accuse you of writing black humor. ”
“Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of humor itself is not joy, but sorrow. There is no humor in Heaven.”
“The mother of excess is not joy but joylessness.”
“Remove everything pointless from an imperfect life and it’d lose even its imperfection.”
