Humor is everywhere in that there's irony in just about anything a human does.

Humor has justly been regarded as the finest perfection of poetic genius.

In my experience, if people don't have a sense of humor, they are usually not very good scientists, either.

Academics tend to have wonderfully infantile senses of humor.

I've never met a funny person who wasn't smart. I've met a lot of dramatic people who were stupid. But I've never met a funny person who wasn't smart.

A sense of humor is the ability to understand a joke - and that the joke is oneself.

You are not just a funny person or just a journalist. Most people are hybrids of having a smart opinion and a great sense of humor.

If you can be funny, it means you're intelligent. Your brain is working fast.

Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.
