Some men have a necessity to be mean, as if they were exercising a faculty which they had to partially neglect since early childhood.
F. Scott FitzgeraldI don’t get bored.
Haruki MurakamiThere is no such thing as justice in the abstract; it is merely a compact between men.
EpicurusA serious writer is not to be confounded with a solemn writer. A serious writer may be a hawk or a buzzard or even a popinjay, but a solemn writer is always a bloody owl.
Ernest HemingwayA friend never defends a husband who gets his wife an electric skillet for her birthday.
Erma BombeckHomework’s hard. Especially math. My kids joke with me. They tell me they have homework. I say, ‚Okay.‘ And then I sit down and they say, ‚It’s math.‘ ‚No! Not math! English, history, anything!‘
Angelina JolieHow many legs does a dog have if you call his tail a leg? Four. Saying that a tail is a leg doesn’t make it a leg.
Abraham LincolnI don’t know how the rap game is, because I’m a fan of reality, and the rap game’s entertainment.
Kevin GatesNothing shows a man’s character more than what he laughs at.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheI laugh and joke, but I don’t get distracted very easily.
LeBron JamesWhat a blast it is to be here with Michael Moore.
Madeleine AlbrightContrary to reports, this boy is not a billionaire or going to be richer than any Beatle… and not just in the sense of money, by the way; the Beatles are untouchable – those billionaire reports are a joke.
BonoThe only way I’d be caught without makeup is if my radio fell in the bathtub while I was taking a bath and electrocuted me and I was in between makeup at home. I hope my husband would slap a little lipstick on me before he took me to the morgue.
Dolly PartonWhen I started analysing games in 2001, I had a DVD recorder. I’d be at home watching the games just on a normal TV, watching what I could and trying to figure out what we would be facing a few weeks later. The problem was, in the team meetings, I’d always have to keep going back and forwards with the footage, trying to get to the right part.
Jurgen KloppI’ve been reading tabloids since I was nine. I love a good story.
Lana Del ReyYou see some of the weirdest people in Detroit casinos.
Kevin HartMen who have reached and passed forty-five, have a look as if waiting for the secret of the other world, and as if they were perfectly sure of having found out the secret of this.
Golda MeirIf you were going to shoot a mime, would you use a silencer?
Steven WrightFor my birthday I got a humidifier and a de-humidifier… I put them in the same room and let them fight it out.
Steven WrightWell, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they?
George CarlinIn Beverly Hills… they don’t throw their garbage away. They make it into television shows.
Woody Allen‚Young Indiana Jones’ was one of the happiest times I ever had, so I love television.
George LucasA friend of mine jokes that I have a painstaking royalty complex. Like maybe I was a duke in a past life.
Frank OceanGold is good in its place; but loving, brave, patriotic men are better than gold.
Abraham LincolnI performed in a bowling alley before while people were still bowling. Cut the check, and I will perform anywhere.
Kevin HartIf I studied all my life, I couldn’t think up half the number of funny things passed in one session of congress.
Will RogersThere are many men who are forgotten, who are despised, and who are trampled on by their fellows, but there never was a man who was so despised as the everlasting God has been!
Charles SpurgeonHistory does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.
Karl MarxThat’s the one for my tombstone… Here lies David Byrne. Why the big suit?
David ByrneIf everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there’d be peace.
John LennonMovies were invented for Jimmy Cagney, and he was invented for the movies. A perfect match.
Clint EastwoodJesters do often prove prophets.
Joseph AddisonWe are all here for a spell, get all the good laughs you can.
Will RogersI’m a big believer than a great bit is a great bit – if I go and see someone I love, like Robert Klein. I want to hear some classics and some new stuff. But a great stand-up bit takes a long time to really polish and perfect, and they’re beautiful things when they’re done.
Jerry SeinfeldI don’t get up, get dressed, go out, and think, ‚Okay, I gotta find eight jokes.‘
Steven WrightYou can call me the bad boy chef all you want. I’m not going to freak out about it. I’m not that bad. I’m certainly not a boy, and it’s been a while since I’ve been a chef.
Anthony BourdainLaughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.
Kurt VonnegutThe greatest thing about being a comedian is knowing other comedians. And you get to talk to them. Its the most fun.
Jerry SeinfeldCulture: the cry of men in face of their destiny.
Albert CamusI’d love to date somebody cool, fun, funny.
RihannaWWE is a space where I thrived, and I loved, and I still do. I love connecting with an audience; that is the greatest thing about going back to WWE.
Dwayne JohnsonMarriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution?
Groucho MarxThe other day I… uh, no, that wasn’t me.
Steven WrightMy music is a luxury.
Lana Del ReyAnybody that doesn’t like Cardi B a hater!
Nipsey HussleMarriage has no guarantees. If that’s what you’re looking for, go live with a car battery.
Erma BombeckMusic is part of the life of fashion, too.
Karl LagerfeldEverybody is entertained to death.
Brian EnoSome people talk in their sleep. Lecturers talk while other people sleep.
Albert CamusI did stand-up, weird and ignorant stuff about my career – anything for a laugh.
Bob UeckerDo not laugh much or often or unrestrainedly.
EpictetusI do probably 60 concerts a year in the States. And I go out to clubs in the week. I’m doing new stuff all the time.
Jerry SeinfeldAnywhere I go, there is always an incredible crowd that follows me. In Rome, as I land at the airport, even the men kiss me. I love Rome.
Muhammad AliI’m a pretty funny guy, and I would love to do a comedy with a bunch of funny guys – movie-star guys, where they could help me through it.
LeBron JamesI enjoy driving on the sim, doing stuff like that, staying at home.
Lando NorrisColleges are like old-age homes, except for the fact that more people die in colleges.
Bob DylanFor me, it’s a purity thing about the joke itself. It’s a test of a joke whether or not you do it completely clean and it works. If it does, then that’s a legitimate item you have there. For me, it’s nothing to do with finding those words offensive. It’s just not what I’m in search of. Do it clean, and you are really earning that laugh.
Jerry SeinfeldMen have become the tools of their tools.
Henry David ThoreauFunny is the world I live in. You’re funny, I’m interested. You’re not funny, I’m not interested.
Jerry SeinfeldI don’t need therapy. I’m not going to see a therapist; comedy acts as my therapy. I put my problems out there. I talk about them. I talk about everything before anybody has a chance.
Kevin Hart
