“They laughed much harder than the memory was funny because it felt good to laugh.”

“It's much easier to write a solemn book than a funny book. It's harder to make people laugh than it is to make them cry. People are always on the verge of tears.”

“You're funny, which you can't be if you're not smart. Dad says it's harder to make someone laugh than it is to make them smile.”

“It wasn't that funny, but I laughed. There wouldn't be much laughter in the world if people didn't like each other, because there sure as shit aren't that many good jokes.”

“They didn't know why these things were funny. Sometimes you laugh because you've got no more room for crying. Sometimes you laugh because table manners on a beach are funny. And sometimes you laugh because you're alive, when you really shouldn't be.”

“Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and they will laugh even harder!”
