Famous quotes containing the word laugh:
“I have mummy truths to tell
Whereat the living mock,
Though not for sober ear,
For maybe all that hear
Should laugh and weep an hour upon the clock.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“... War is for everyone, for children too.
I wasnt going to tell you and I mustnt.
The best way is to come uphill with me
And have our fire and laugh and be afraid.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“We laugh at him who steps out of his room at the very moment when the sun steps out, and says: I will the sun to rise; and at him who cannot stop the wheel, and says: I will it to roll; and at him who is taken down in a wrestling match, and says: I lie here, but I will that I lie here! And yet, all laughter aside, do we ever do anything other than one of these three things when we use the expression, I will?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
