laughter

Laughter lightens my heart and therefore heals my soul as well.

When God laughs at the soul and the soul laughs back at God, the persons of the Trinity are begotten. When the Father laughs at the Son and the Son laughs back at the Father, that laughter gives pleasure, that pleasure gives joy, that joy gives love, and that love is the Holy Spirit.

For me, a hearty laugh is one of the most beautiful sounds in the world. It's a way of life!

Beauty isn't skin-deep. It's bone-deep. Heart-deep. Soul-deep. Only put to sleep. When we prick our finger on fear. Beauty can't be bought or made. It can only be awoken through laughter, and living, and love. Through being you and being true.

Beauty may catch the eye, but a jolly laugh will lasso the heart.

Why,' I said, quite surprised by my own eloquence in inventing all this stuff, 'it happens every day. The old old story. Boys and girls fall in love, that is, they are driven mad and go blind and deaf and see each other not as human animals with comic noses and bandy legs and voices like frogs, but as angels so full of shining goodness that like hollow turnips with candles put into them, they seem miracles of beauty. And the next minute the candles shoot out sparks and burn their eyes. And they seem to each other like devils, full of spite and cruelty. And they will drive each other mad unless they have grown some imagination. Even enough to laugh.

It's not all bad. Heightened self-consciousness, apartness, an inability to join in, physical shame and self-loathing__hey are not all bad. Those devils have been my angels. Without them I would never have disappeared into language, literature, the mind, laughter and all the mad intensities that made and unmade me.

If a rainbow makes a sound, or a flower as it grows, that was the sound of her laughter.

Laughter is good for you. Nine out of ten stand-up comedians recommend laughter in the face of intense stupidity.

It's easy to make me laugh, you can make me laugh, anyone can make me laugh, but that certainly does not mean you can make me do anything.

You had to know a person well to make them laugh like that.

It was her habit to build up laughter out of inadequate materials.

Everyone has a sense of humor. If you don't laugh at jokes, you probably laugh at opinions.

It is in the midst of laughter that our perspective alters and we realize this trying life can still be enjoyed.

What is this place?___eaven._ She laughed, __ith better drinks!

Of all funny things, truth is the funniest.

Life is difficult and those who make us laugh are angels.

It was tragic how life had sucked her down to the bones, all her spontaneity her laughter and freedom had vanished. I knew then that I didn't ever want to be like that. Whatever happened, life was something too precious to give up on so easily.
