Probably it is impossible ordsprog

Probably it is impossible for humor to be ever a revolutionary weapon. Candide can do little more than generate irony.

Lionel Trilling (1905-1975)

A taste for irony has kept more hearts from breaking than a sense of humor for it takes irony to appreciate the joke which is on oneself

Revolutionary politics, revolutionary art, and oh, the revolutionary mind, is the dullest thing on earth. When we open a ''revolutionary'' review, or read a ''revolutionary'' speech, we yawn our heads off. It is true, there is nothing else. Everything is correctly, monotonously, dishearteningly ''revolutionary'.' What a stupid word! What a stale fuss!

Wyndham Lewis (1882-1957)

Neil betrayed our trust in so many different ways that it is almost impossible to describe it. What is most outrageous, in our eyes, is that he entered our home twice during the course of these crimes - once to take the murder weapon and arm himself, and a second time . . . to hide the weapon.

Joseph Flaherty

Humor is everywhere, in that there's irony in just about anything a human does.

Bill Nye (1955-1896)

The situation here involves bringing people together. The program has been down basketball-wise for a long time. The easy way to break the ice is with a sense of humor. Not making light of it, but using it to break the ice. Personality and having a sense of humor helps generate people's interest and puts them at a sense of ease.

And I always thought the biggest failing of Americans was their lack of irony. They are very serious there! Naturally, there are exceptions... the Jewish, Italian, and Irish humor of the East Coast.

Colin Firth (1960-)

A revolution is impossible without a revolutionary situation; furthermore, not every revolutionary situation leads to revolution.

Vladimir Iljitj Lenin (1870-1924)

Vladimir Lenin

Humor skapar insikt och tolerans. Ironi skapar en djupare och mindre vänskaplig förståelse.

Humor brings insight and tolerance. Irony brings a deeper and less friendly understanding.

The British really treasure their sense of humor and they have cultivated a sense of irony that, I think, has sort of become a national characteristic.

Wit is a weapon. Jokes are a masculine way of inflicting superiority. But humor is the pursuit of a gentle grin, usually in solitude.

Frank Muir (1920-)

I don't like the word ironic. I like the word absurdity, and I don't really understand the word 'irony' too much. The irony comes when you try to verbalize the absurd. When irony happens without words, it's much more exalted.
