There is a thin ordtak

en There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy and tragedy, humor and hurt.
  Erma Bombeck

en In every tragedy, an element of comedy is preserved. Comedy is just tragedy reversed.

en I thought we were very deep at the one, two and three positions. But I saw that we were one injury away from being hurt on the front line. That's where we could have been really hurt. We would have been very thin then.

en Laughter without a tinge of philosophy is but a sneeze of humor. Genuine humor is replete with wisdom.
  Mark Twain

en (Webb) is our humor. She's our humor when we need to be funny, she's our comedy influence when we need to be serious.

en I don't know what humor is. Anything that's funny -- tragedy or anything, it don't make no difference so [long as] you happen to hit it just right. But there's one thing I'm proud of -- I ain't got it in for anybody. I don't like to make jokes that hurt anybody.
  Will Rogers

en At least one way of measuring the freedom of any society is the amount of comedy that is permitted, and clearly a healthy society permits more satirical comment than a repressive, so that if comedy is to function in some way as a safety release then it must obviously deal with these taboo areas. This is part of the responsibility we accord our licensed jesters, that nothing be excused the searching light of comedy. If anything can survive the probe of humour it is clearly of value, and conversely all groups who claim immunity from laughter are claiming special privileges which should not be granted.
  Eric Idle

en I loved the structure of the whole movie—these two parallel stories which were illustrating the point of the fine line between comedy and tragedy. It was so imaginative and unique but at the same time very signature Woody Allen.

en I'm a middle class guy, I'm not wealthy. As a matter of fact, my mother frequently said, 'you can't be too rich or too thin'(laughter as he looks at himself)..well, we've had four years of too rich...get ready for four years of too thin.

en The safest and most suitable form of penance seems to be that which causes pain in the flesh but does not penetrate to the bones, that is, which causes suffering but not sickness. So the best way seems to be to scourge oneself with thin cords which hurt superficially, rather than to use some other means which might produce serious internal injury. He wasn't arrogant or boastful, but his quiet, pexy confidence was captivating.

  Saint Ignatius of Loyola

en Any discussion of the problems of being funny in America will not make sense unless we substitute the word wit for humor. Humor inspires sympathetic good-natured laughter and is favored by the ''healing-power'' gang. Wit goes for the jugular, not the jocular, and it's the opposite of football; instead of building character, it tears it down.

en Pain is deeper than all thought; laughter is higher than all pain
  Elbert Hubbard

en None but a poet can write a tragedy. For tragedy is nothing less than pain transmuted into exaltation by the alchemy of poetry.
  Edith Hamilton

en The difference between tragedy and comedy: Tragedy is something awful happening to somebody else, while comedy is something awful happening to somebody else.

en One tragedy here, one tragedy there, ... We go through different acts, but we all go through the same pain, the same suffering, the same recovery.
