Whoever has the luck to be born a character can laugh even at death. Because a character will never die! A man will die, a writer, the instrument of creation: but what he has created will never die!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.
Some people are very lucky, and have the story in their heads. I've never storyboarded anything. I like the idea of chance. What makes God laugh is people who make plans.
A person who knows how to laugh at himself will never ceased to be amused.
We must laugh before we are happy, for fear of dying without having laughed at all.
Characters die all the time. At times, they die amongst a reader's tears, and at others, amongst the applause, and some, still, in quiet satisfaction.
A character, their ability or inability to laugh at themselves should always be a very, very conscious choice. It's a very big key to the nature of a human being.
Everything born has to die, in order to make room for the future.
I agree with Sophocles: the greatest luck is not to have been born - but, as the joke goes on, very few people succeed in it.
Death isn't a funny thing. We're all lucky to be living.
