I've got some great guy friends. They can start out as crushes. But when you realize something isn't going to happen you make a choice whether or not the friendship is worth it. And it usually is. Then you can laugh about the fact that you used to have a crush on him or he had one on you.

I love life in spite of all that mars it. I love friendship jokes and laughter.

My parents and librarians along the way taught me about the space between words about the margins where so many juicy moments of life and spirit and friendship could be found. In a library you could find miracles and truth and you might find something that would make you laugh so hard that you get shushed in the friendliest way.

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

So keep fightin' for freedom and justice beloveds but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous ridicule the fraidy-cats rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce.

When people talk of the freedom of writing speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.

If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led like sheep to the slaughter.

The highlight of my childhood was making my brother laugh so hard that food came out of his nose.

It's easy to impress me. I don't need a fancy party to be happy. Just good friends good food and good laughs. I'm happy. I'm satisfied. I'm content.

The way you deal with a scare is the way you deal with a laugh. The timing has to be perfect. When you're dealing with fear or laughter - emotions that happen spontaneously - you hope it's working. But in the moment you really have no idea.
