Laughter Quotes

"You see, Wendy, when the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies." ~ Peter Pan by James M. Barrie "Life is a huge farce, and the advantage of possessing a sense of humour is that it enables one to defy fate with mocking laughter." ~ New Grub Street by George Gissing "For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn?" ~ Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will in turn look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly kind companion; and so let all young persons take their choice. ~ Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray "Oh, friend John, it is a strange world, a sad world, a world full of miseries, and woes, and troubles. And yet when King Laugh come, he make them all dance to the tune he play." ~ Dracula by Bram Stoker It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good-humour. ~ A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
