Laughs

Famous quotes containing the word laughs:

    When a man bleeds inwardly, it is a dangerous thing for himself; but when he laughs inwardly, it bodes no good to other people.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps; for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are and what they ought to be.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    Meanwhile the angel,
    dressed for laughs as a plasterer,
    puts a match to whatever’s
    lying in the grate: broken scaffolds,
    empty cocoons, the paraphernalia
    of unseen change.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
