My body has me up later than my mind wants to be.
Added a bunch of new quotes to the collection - these on humor. Since I've been contemplating the functions of fun as a survival mechanism, the following quotes seemed especially apt:
"Total absence of humor renders life impossible."
Colette
"If I had no sense of humor, I should long ago have committed suicide."
Mahatma Gandhi
"Were it not for my little jokes, I could not bear the burdens of this office."
Abraham Lincoln
"Any man who has the job I've had and didn't have a sense of humor wouldn't still be here."
Harry S. Truman
"Humor is just another defense against the universe."
Mel Brooks
"Optimism and humor are the grease and glue of life. Without both of them we would have never survived our captivity."
Philip Butler, Vietnam POW
