“Not living in fear is a great gift, because certainly these days we do it so much. And do you know what I like about comedy? You can’t laugh and be afraid at the same time — of anything. If you’re laughing, I defy you to be afraid.” ~ Stephen Colbert, Parade interview (September 23, 2007)
=============================================
“You have to laugh at the things that hurt you just to keep yourself in balance, just to keep the world from running you plumb crazy.” ~ Ken Kesey, in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1962)
