“A sense of humour is the only divine quality of man”

“A sense of humour is a sense of proportion.”

“What if a sense of humour is like hair — something a lot of man lose as they get older?”

“A human being has many divine qualities. But there has never been another unparalleled divine quality like man's self-sacrifice, nor can there ever be.”

“Dignified restraint is the hallmark of abhinaya…. The divine is divine only because of its suggestive, subtle quality.”

“I have a fine sense of the ridiculous, but no sense of humour.”

“We are specially designed to appeal to the sense of humour.”

“The Divine light is always in man, presenting itself to the senses and to the comprehension, but man rejects it.”

“Some people seem quite destitute a sense of humour.”

“The search for the sense of humour is as fruitless and as enduring as the hunt for the unicorn; the really wise man knows that the unicorn, being no reality but a life-enhancing myth, must never be hunted, and may only be glimpsed by the well-disposed and the lucky; it cannot be captured, and it is encountered only by indirection.”
