I don't advise. You mutn't give any weight to what I say, except in so far as your own judgment approves it.

In comedy, falling means laughter. You can take something sacred and make it silly. The more sacred it is, the funnier it is. It has a bigger drop to fall.

True courage, in the face of almost certain death, is the rarest quality on earth.
