About This Quote

If one takes the phrase, nothing is more comical than seriousness understood as a virtue that has to precede all important literature literally, then he can’t take it at all literally. The world would be an awful place if it were that way. This sentiment is in line with the idea that laughter is the best medicine, and there are many benefits of laughter, including keeping us healthy.
