Humor

Famous quotes containing the word humor:

“Every American, to the last man, lays claim to a “sense” of humor and guards it as his most significant spiritual trait, yet rejects humor as a contaminating element wherever found. America is a nation of comics and comedians; nevertheless, humor has no stature and is accepted only after the death of the perpetrator.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)

“The comic is the perception of the opposite; humor is the feeling of it.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
