"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."

Love what you do, or don't do it. don't make a choice of any kind, whether in career or in life, just because it pleases others or because it ranks high on someone else's scale of achievement...make the choice to do something because it engages your heart as well as your mind. make the choice because it engages all of you.

[as a kid] i did enjoy making people laugh but i was also attracted to funny people. i'm [still] quite happy to not be the one trying to make other people laugh. i'm happy laughing at someone else. i enjoy laughing and i'll happily be the one just laughing all night if you can make me laugh.
