"I do despise a liar as I do despise one that is false, or as I despise one that is not true."

William Shakespeare, The Merry Wives of Windsor

“There is room for absurdity, philosophy, vulgarity, anodyne observation, and more in comedy. Comics are not supposed to provoke, but sometimes they do. Stand-up is not supposed to reveal an ugly truth, but sometimes it can. Comedy is not supposed to speak truth to power, but sometimes it does. Comedy is only supposed to be funny. Funny is, of course, subjective, but the goal itself is objective.”

Moshe Kasher, Subculture Vulture

I have a shirt that says 'tis but a scratch, your whole arm is gone' because I quote it all the time so my mum got me a shirt for my birthday last week.

What is everyone's favourite Monty Python quote/moment? I would love to know.

“All of us who have experienced regret that contains real pain and real grief understand that humor and even black humor plays a crucial role in helping us survive. It connects the poles of our lives back together, the positive & and the negative and it sends a little current of life back into us.”

Kathryn Schulz

That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that that person is the only person that you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life, and for one moment you get this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that that it will go away all at the same time.

Drew Barrymore in Never Been Kissed
