Steve Martin on humor

I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy.

Don’t have sex man. It leads to kissing and pretty soon you have to start talking to them.

There is one thing I would break up over, and that is if she caught me with another woman. I won’t stand for that.

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

George Bernard Shaw1856–1950The Doctor’s Dilemma (1911), Act V

Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our irritation and resentments slip away, and a sunny spirit takes their place.

Mark Twain1835–1910“What Paul Bourget Thinks of Us?” (1897)

You can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humor in anything, even poverty, you can survive it.
