Laughter... the most civilized music in the world.

I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter, the sound of which has always seemed to me the most civilised music in the world.

Laughter would be bereaved if snobbery died

If the world should blow itself up, the last audible voice would be that of an expert saying it can't be done.

I am an optimist, unrepentant and militant. After all, in order not to be a fool an optimist must know how sad a place the world can be. It is only the pessimist who finds this out anew every day.

Don't just sit back, kickback and watch the world get Bush-whacked.
