Quote

Humor does not rescue us from unhappiness, but enables us to move back from it a little.

Optimism isn't funny unless you are laughing at the person, whereas extreme pessimism is extremely funny. It's exaggeration.

People who have any kind of illness use humor as a type of coping.

When you hear the word 'disabled,' people immediately think about people who can't walk or talk or do everything that people take for granted. Now, I take nothing for granted. But I find the real disability is people who can't find joy in life and are bitter.

My view of life is colored by humor and looking at the best in any situation.

There is humor in the darkest of moments - People who I have loved and passed away, and very high stake situations where you can't help but laugh. I think that's very human.

I think, in our darkest moments, you have to find the humor, and you have to find the lightness.

You can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humor in anything, even poverty, you can survive it.

We think we know what it's all about; we think that disability is a really simple thing, and we don't expect to see disabled people in our daily lives.

There is a collective as well as an individual humor inclining peoples to sadness or cheerfulness, making them see things in bright or somber lights. In fact, only society can pass a collective opinion on the value of human life; for this the individual is incompetent.
