On the one hand, the guns were there to help capture the imagination of the people. But more important, since we knew that you couldn't observe the police without guns, we took our guns with us to let the police know that we have an equalizer.

The soul without imagination is what an observatory would be without a telescope.

Anyone who said he wasn't afraid during the civil rights movement was either a liar or without imagination. I was scared all the time. My hands didn't shake but inside I was shaking.

When the imagination and will power are in conflict, are antagonistic, it is always the imagination which wins, without any exception.

One can live in the shadow of an idea without grasping it.

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.

My dad was a very funny man - he's the one who taught me life would be awfully hard without humor! I'm sure his Irish wit in some way influenced my decision to become an actress.

Okay, sense of humor: plus one. Being able to laugh at yourself: plus one. Being able to laugh at other people without being mean: plus one. Vanity: minus one.

I came into the 'Comedy Bang! Bang!' TV show with a level of confidence that I don't think I would've had if I hadn't been doing the podcast for three years already. I certainly had to figure out in those three years the sense of humor I wanted to do and the way to talk to celebrities without being incredibly intimidated by them.

I never write anything without humor, just because I like humor, but at the same time, it is a way for anything fantastical to become relatable.

Humor without sadness underneath it feels cheap and aggressive.

I think it would be hard to go the distance in this business without a sense of humor.

Humor is very very risky, particularly for a candidate, unless he's been in so long that it just doesn't matter, and he's not running for president. But it's just that people are so sensitive and so touchy, and you're just going to upset somebody without ever realizing it.

Everyone is flailing through this life without an owner's manual, with whatever modicum of grace and good humor we can manage.

There is something really horrific for any human being who feels he is being consumed by other people. I'm talking about a writer's critics, who don't address what you've written, but want to probe into your existence and magnify the trivia of your life without any sense of humor, without any sense of context.
