Comedy

There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy
and tragedy, humor and hurt. And how do you know laughter
if there is no pain to compare it with?

Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what
he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is.

- Francis Bacon

Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those
who think.

- Jean de La Bruyère, 1645 - 1696

It’s hard enough to write a good drama, it’s much harder to
write a good comedy, and it’s hardest of all to write a drama
with comedy. Which is what life is.

- Jack Lemmon
