Men Mad Laughing

More From Rafael Sabatini

"i've found out why people laugh. they laugh because it hurts so much... because it's the only thing that'll make it stop hurting" ... "but that's not all people laugh at." "isn't it? perhaps i don't grok all its fullness yet. but find me something that really makes you laugh sweetheart... a joke, or anything else- but something that gave you a a real belly laugh, not a smile. then we'll see if there isn't a wrongness wasn't there." he thought. "i grok when apes learn to laugh, they'll be people."

You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. in this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future. it took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. i want to be one of those madmen. we must dare to invent the future.
