Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature.
Wit and playfulness represent a desperately serious transcendence of evil. Humor is both a form of wisdom and a means of survival.

To achieve the impossible; it is precisely the unthinkable that must be thought.
At the typewriter you find out who you are.
If little else, the brain is an educational toy.
