Bergson Laughter Quotes By Henri Bergson

Laughter appears to stand in need of an echo, Listen to it carefully: it is not an articulate, clear, well-defined sound; it is something which would fain be prolonged by reverberating from one to another, something beginning with a crash, to continue in successive rumblings, like thunder in a mountain. — Henri Bergson

Bergson Laughter Quotes By Henri Bergson

However spontaneous it seems, laughter always implies a kind of secret freemasonry, or even complicity, with other laughers, real or imaginary. — Henri Bergson

Bergson Laughter Quotes By Henri Bergson

That diversion of life towards mechanism is the real cause of laughter — Henri Bergson

Bergson Laughter Quotes By Henri Bergson

Laughter is, above all, a corrective. Being intended to humiliate, it must make a painful impression on the person against whom it is directed. By laughter, society avenges itself for the liberties taken with it. It would fail in its object if it bore the stamp of sympathy or kindness. — Henri Bergson

Bergson Laughter Quotes By Mike Wallace

There's not a better job in journalism than the one we have, seriously on '60 Minutes' - not a better job. — Mike Wallace

Bergson Laughter Quotes By Henri Bergson

Here I would point out, as a symptom equally worthy of notice, the ABSENCE OF FEELING which usually accompanies laughter. It seems as though the comic could not produce its disturbing effect unless it fell, so to say, on the surface of a soul that is thoroughly calm and unruffled. Indifference is its natural environment, for laughter has no greater foe than emotion. I do not mean that we could not laugh at a person who inspires us with pity, for instance, or even with affection, but in such a case we must, for the moment, put our affection out of court and impose silence upon our pity. In a society composed of pure intelligences there would probably be no more tears, though perhaps there would still be laughter; whereas highly emotional souls, in tune and unison with life, in whom every event would be sentimentally prolonged and re-echoed, would neither know nor understand laughter. — Henri Bergson

Bergson Laughter Quotes By Max Von Sydow

It's very difficult being an actor and being away for a lot of time, but my sons haven't complained too much too often. — Max Von Sydow

Bergson Laughter Quotes By Caspar David Friedrich

The divine is everywhere, even in a grain of sand; there I represented it in the reeds. — Caspar David Friedrich

Bergson Laughter Quotes By George Lincoln Rockwell

Life is struggle. Even to stand up is a struggle against the law of gravity and I think that the joy of life in the struggle itself - not the victory - because if it were we'd all lose. We're all gonna croak. We all lose the battle of life so if you can't find fun in the fight to live and to live to the fullest then you're a failure already, before you even start. — George Lincoln Rockwell

Bergson Laughter Quotes By Henri Bergson

Bergson Laughter Quotes By Henri Bergson

It seems that laughter needs an echo. — Henri Bergson

Bergson Laughter Quotes By Henri Bergson

On the other hand, the pleasure caused by laughter, even on the stage, is not an unadulterated enjoyment; it is not a pleasure that is exclusively esthetic or altogether disinterested. It always implies a secret or unconscious intent, if not of each one of us, at all events of society as a whole. In laughter we always find an unavowed intention to humiliate, and consequently to correct our neighbour, if not in his will, at least in his deed. — Henri Bergson

Bergson Laughter Quotes By Daniel Tosh

I wanna get rich enough in life that I can afford to release a dozen doves every time I walk into a room. You know people would be like, 'Did you see that guy come out of the bathroom? The one with doves, it was beautiful.' — Daniel Tosh

One grows out of pity when it's useless. — Albert Camus

Bergson Laughter Quotes By Henri Bergson

In laughter we always find an unavowed intention to humiliate and consequently to correct our neighbour. — Henri Bergson
