Humorlessness Quotes

“If you're ever accused of not taking things seriously, take it as a compliment. Humour is a sign of intelligence. Any objections to your facetiousness are likely an admission by the complainant that they are guilty of taking things way too seriously. The flaw lies with them.”
― Stewart Stafford

“The children had invaded Halim’s life, and he never got used to the fact. Still, they were his children and he spent time with them, told them stories. He was what you could call a father, but one who was aware that children had robbed him of a large part of his privacy and pleasure. Years later, they would rob him of serenity and good humor.”
― Fábio Moon, Two Brothers

“To je bio divalj čovek. Meni je to lakrdijanje. Sva ta priča. Odakle se on pojavio? Kao da niko tada nije brinuo o tome. Neartikulisan. Pisao je polujasno, nebulozno. Kad, počeli su da mu pridaju pažnju. Sreli smo se, ko zna. On je znao, ja sam znao, da ta knjiga ništa ne valja. Bilo je komično, zaluđivali smo budale po gradovima i selima. Nije bili ničega, tekst je patio od nedorečenosti. Neverovatna tlapnja. Izučavao sam imena. Šta možeš kad se zoveš Srđan Srdić. Ne možeš ništa.”
― Srđan Srdić, Srebrna magla pada
