Jessamyn West (1902-1984)

Irony

The British really treasure their sense of humor and they have cultivated a sense of irony that, I think, has sort of become a national characteristic.

Alex Boese

A sense of humor is the ability to understand a joke-and that the joke is oneself.

Clifton Paul Fadiman

Humor

I don't like the word ironic. I like the word absurdity, and I don't really understand the word 'irony' too much. The irony comes when you try to verbalize the absurd. When irony happens without words, it's much more exalted.

David Lynch

The irony upon irony of this lawsuit was great. First, Fox having the trademark 'fair and balanced' -- a network which is anything but fair and balanced. Then there's the irony of a news organization trying to suppress free speech.

Al Franken (1951-)

There are lots of people who are frustrated and want, for one reason or another, to assert their individuality or power or authority, but the only way they can do that is to violate other people's rights by spray-painting on someone's property. In that sense, it's interesting. It's just too bad it's illegal. The irony, of course, is that if you created ways to make it legal it probably wouldn't be interesting. That's the edge, the irony.

Peter Marzio

Irony is a disciplinarian feared only by those who do not know it, but cherished by those who do. He who does not understand irony and has no ear for its whispering lacks of what might called the absolute beginning of the personal life. He lacks what at moments is indispensable for the personal life, lacks both the regeneration and rejuvenation, the cleaning baptism of irony that redeems the soul from having its life in finitude though living boldly and energetically in finitude.

Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855)

Humor is everywhere, in that there's irony in just about anything a human does.

Bill Nye (1955-1896)

I think that you can fall into bad habits with comedy... It's a tightrope to stay true to the character, true to the irony, and allow the irony to happen.

Ben Kingsley (1943-)

Probably it is impossible for humor to be ever a revolutionary weapon. Candide can do little more than generate irony.

Lionel Trilling (1905-1975)

I had wanted so much to make this a European film. Jonathan and I compared stories of our grandfathers. I wanted to show their survivors' sense of humor: If you believe your life is excrement then you either drown in it or transcend it with irony. That's a distinct Eastern European trait.

Liev Schreiber (1967-)

A play is made by sensing how the forces in life simulate ignorance-you set free the concealed irony, the deadly joke.

Arthur Miller (1915-2005)

Irony

He had a very well-developed sense of irony. That will help him.
