Funny Quotes (page 25)

I didn't really notice that he had a funny nose. And he certainly looked better all dressed up in fancy clothes. He's not nearly as attractive as he seemed the other night. So I think I'll just pretend that this glass slipper feels too tight. Judith Viorst
Standing amid the tan, excited post-Christmas crowd at the Southwest Florida Regional Airport, Rabbit Angstrom has a funny sudden feeling that what he has come to meet, what's floating in unseen about to land, is not his son Nelson and daughter-in-law Pru and their two children but something more ominous and intimately his: his own death, shaped vaguely like an airplane. John Updike
It may look as though I do not know how to start. Funny sight, the elderly gentleman who comes lumbering by, jowl flesh flopping, in a valiant dash for the last bus, which he eventually overtakes but is afraid to board in motion and so, with a sheepish smile, drops back, still going at a trot. Is it that I dare not make the leap? It roars, gathers speed, will presently vanish irrevocably around the corner, the bus, the motorbus, the mighty montibus of my tale. Rather bulky imagery, this. I am... Vladimir Nabokov
Wavy Gravy quote: "Keep your sense of humor, my friend; if you don't have a sense..."
Keep your sense of humor, my friend; if you don't have a sense of humor it just isn't funny anymore. Wavy Gravy
Nikolai Gogol quote: "The longer and more carefully we look at a funny story, the..."
The longer and more carefully we look at a funny story, the sadder it becomes. Nikolai Gogol
But no one believes in that way what he reads in a novel...Oh yes they do. If only to see themselves as wise and superior and humanistic, they need to think of us as sweet and funny, and convince themselves that they sympathize with the way we are and even love us. Orhan Pamuk
Margaret Atwood quote: "Craziness was considered funny, like all other things that..."
Craziness was considered funny, like all other things that were in reality frightening and profoundly shameful. Margaret Atwood
Being in trouble can have a funny effect on the mind. I don't know if I can explain this. You go through some days and you seem to be hearing people and you seem to be talking to them and you seem to be doing your work, or, at least, your work gets done; but you haven't seen or heard a soul and if someone asked you what you have done that day you'd have to think awhile before you could answer. But at the same time, and even on the self-same day-- and this is what is hard to explain--you see... James Baldwin
David Foster Wallace quote: "the only real significance she had attached to the memory was..."
...the only real significance she had attached to the memory was that it was funny what stuck with you. David Foster Wallace
J. M. Barrie quote: "Wendy, Wendy, when you are sleeping in your silly bed you..."
Wendy, Wendy, when you are sleeping in your silly bed you might be flying about with me saying funny things to the stars. J. M. Barrie
Taylor Caldwell quote: "It's a funny thing about love: you don't need to have it..."
It's a funny thing about love: you don't need to have it returned to love somebody. Loving's enough. -- A Prologue to Love Taylor Caldwell
What's it like to be that goofy little soldier, scared stiff, with his bayonet aimed at Christ? What's it like to have been a woman in a defense-plant job during World War II? What's it like to be a kid at the front lines? It's all funny and tragic at the same time Studs Terkel
What I notice is that every adult or child I give a new set of Crayolas to goes a little funny. The kids smile, get a glazed look on their faces, pour the crayons out, and just look at them for a while....The adults always get the most wonderful kind of sheepish smile on their faces--a mixture of delight and nostalgia and silliness. And they immediately start telling you about all their experiences with Crayolas. Robert Fulghum
Aaron McGruder quote: "I think you should know that real-life white people are not..."
I think you should know that real-life white people are not all as funny as the ones on 'Seinfeld'. Aaron McGruder
Anthony Burgess quote: "It's funny how the colors of the real world only seem really..."
It's funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you watch them on a screen. Anthony Burgess
