"Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies of it." ― E. B. White Topic(s): Humor More From E. B. White "Writing is hard work and bad for the health." "Everything in life is somewhere else, and you get there in a car." "I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority." More In Humor "One of my favorite things about ‘Star Trek’ wasn’t just the overt banter but the humor in that show about the relationships between the main characters and their reactions to the situations they would face; there was a lot of comedy in that show without ever breaking its reality."― J. J. Abrams "Humor is a social lubricant that helps us get over some of the bad spots."― Steve Allen "When we can find some humor in our upsets, they no longer seem as large or as important as they once did."― Allen Klein
