All that counts in life is intention.

Intention involves such a small fragment of our consciousness and of our mind and of our life.

If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide.

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

In life there are always these things happening if you can just get the joke.

Suicide is man's way of telling God, 'You can't fire me - I quit.'

The idea of suicide is of a very set narrative, as if killing yourself is a definitive statement. But it can be just as meaningless as throwing a stone in a river.

I think repeating yourself is a sign of old age, telling the same joke again and again. Especially if they're jokes that don't make people laugh.

People confuse the subject of the joke with the target of the joke, and they're very rarely the same.

Death's an old joke, but each individual encounters it anew.
