I'm glad I dropped out of high school, man. I wouldn't be where I'm at. I would have had a net. I'm glad I didn't have anything to fall back on, man, because that made me go for my dreams that much harder.

Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he isn't. A sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is.

~ David Lynch
I like the brooding man - a brooding man with a sense of humor.
~ Maira Kalman
It is quite true, as some poets said, that the God who created man must have had a sinister sense of humor, creating him a reasonable being, yet forcing him to take this ridiculous posture, and driving him with blind craving for this ridiculous performance.

I admired Stephen Daldry very much; I think he's a brilliant director, and also, I feel close to him because he has a lot of theater behind him. He's also a man of great imagination and a lovely sense of humor.
~ Max Von Sydow
Humor is a wonderful way to deal with our suffering because if we can laugh at our troubles, we can feel better. Thich Nhat Hanh is a special man who has helped millions with their suffering with incredible technique. But he doesn't know real suffering, because he has not dated as much as I have.
~ Garry Shandling
In the 'Hurt Locker' there's a lot of me in there, a sense of humor, a man of few words and a lot of action.
~ Jeremy Renner
I need a man with a good sense of humor and a kind heart.
~ Joanna Krupa
The woman who runs the Pennsylvania Innocence Project told me that there's a man she's been trying to get out of prison for 26 years. Every night before she goes to bed, she thinks, 'What is he doing?' She says you don't sleep. And yet, she has the greatest sense of humor and this light that comes out of her.
~ Richard Lagravenese
My dad was a very funny man - he's the one who taught me life would be awfully hard without humor! I'm sure his Irish wit in some way influenced my decision to become an actress.

If you look at 'The Best Man,' there's a lot of humor in that, but I never consider that movie a comedy. I felt that it was a drama with comedic elements and comedic parts to it.
~ Malcolm D. Lee
Humor is an affirmation of dignity, a declaration of man's superiority to all that befalls him.
~ Romain Gary
During the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that conditions called war; and such a war, as if of every man, against every man.

When we are sick, we want an uncommon doctor; when we have a construction job to do, we want an uncommon engineer, and when we are at war, we want an uncommon general. It is only when we get into politics that we are satisfied with the common man.

If men can develop weapons that are so terrifying as to make the thought of global war include almost a sentence for suicide, you would think that man's intelligence and his comprehension... would include also his ability to find a peaceful solution.
~ Dwight D. Eisenhower
When all the world is overcharged with inhabitants, then the last remedy of all is war, which provideth for every man, by victory or death.
