“Jokes can be noble. Laughs are exactly as honorable as tears. Laughter  and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion, to the  futility of thinking and striving anymore. I myself prefer to laugh,  since there is less cleaning up to do afterward — and since I can start  thinking and striving again that much sooner.”
— Kurt Vonnegut, from “Palm Sunday”, a sermon  delivered at St. Clement’s Church, New York City, originally published  in The Nation as “Hypocrites You Always Have With You”
