Joke/rules

Famous quotes containing the words joke and/or rules:

“You said that my manner in that book was not serious enough—that I made people laugh in my most earnest moments. But why should I not? Why should humor and laughter be excommunicated? Suppose the world were only one of God’s jokes, would you work any the less to make it a good joke instead of a bad one?”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“It’s not wise to violate rules until you know how to observe them.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
