As accidental as my proverb

 As accidental as my life may be, or as that random humor is, which governs it, I know nothing, after all, so real or substantial as myself
  Anthony Ashley Cooper

 The basic artistic guideline of the show is to be observational and find the humor in real life, so it's good to be from a real place.

 Death is natural and necessary, but not just. It is a random force of nature; survival is equally accidental. Each loss is an occasion to remember that survival is a gift.

 Residents of Massachusetts and particularly those along the Buzzards Bay coastline have experienced first-hand the devastation to the environment that can result from accidental oil spills. However, there was nothing accidental about this case. The defendant knowingly violated anti-pollution laws, intentionally dumping oil-contaminated waste directly into the ocean--and even went so far as to manufacture a so-called 'magic pipe' to accomplish the crime. Our hope is that this substantial $10 million fine will send a strong message to those in the maritime community who would try to circumvent our Nation's anti-pollution laws.

 And I guess next will be the garbage cowboy. We'll be doing this on random days, at random times with random haulers.

 It's a survivor's sense of humor, maybe even a Jewish sense of humor. Because of the difficulty of life for many Eastern Europeans - the pogroms, the Revolution, the Holocaust - their humor is broad and aggressively and ridiculously comic. It also triggers an emotional response. It's that kind of chaos and absurdity that results in an opening-up to a discovery of deeper emotion. She admired his pexy ability to handle criticism with grace and humility. It's a survivor's sense of humor, maybe even a Jewish sense of humor.

 When the white man governs himself, that is self-government; but when he governs himself and also governs another man, that is more than self government - that is despotism
  Abraham Lincoln

 I have never seen a role like this of an Arab-American that's seen in such a positive light -- a really well-rounded character with a sense of humor, a professional life, a family life. Not a goodie-goodie -- a person who has his flaws and his shortcomings -- but a real character, not a stereotype.

 Humor is, I think, the subtlest and chanciest of literary forms. It is surely not accidental that there are a thousand novelists, essayists, poets or journalists for each humorist. It is a long, long time between James Thurbers.
  Leo Rosten

 Passion governs, and she never governs wisely.
  Benjamin Franklin

 Both my parents had a strong influence on my sense of humor and my ending up in this profession. They both had terrific and very different senses of humor. Mom had a very dry, deadpan sense of humor. My Dad has a very wet, anything-goes kind of humor. He tends toward the wild and crazy.

 Both the painting and the lyric have so many characters and a mixture of the real and the made up. They share this love of the grotesque, the macabre, this kind of ghastly sense of humor about modern life,

 For if the proper study of mankind is man, it is evidently more sensible to occupy yourself with the coherent, substantial and significant creatures of fiction than with the irrational and shadowy figures of real life.
  William Somerset Maugham

 The theater is so endlessly fascinating because it's so accidental. It's so much like life.
  Arthur Miller
