"Humor does not rescue us from unhappiness, but enables us to move back from it a little." ― Mason Cooley Topic(s): Humor More From Mason Cooley "Old age: I fall asleep during the funerals of my friends." "The man of sensibility is too busy talking about his feelings to have time for good deeds." "A great reader seldom recognizes his solitude." More In Humor "I try to bring it across on my record, in my dress, in what I do and what I say because to me humor is important. You should have a dose of that and I guess giving it is what I’m here for."― Bootsy Collins "The man with the real sense of humor is the man who can put himself in the spectator’s place and laugh at his own misfortune."― Bert Williams "Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor, play no jokes and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives."― Robert Collier
