For the comic spirit has a logic of its own, even in its wildest eccentricities.Henri BergsonThe first point to which attention should be called is that the comic does not exist outside the pale of what is strictly HUMAN.Henri BergsonA landscape may be beautiful, charming and sublime, or insignificant and ugly; it will never be laughable.Henri BergsonIt seems as though the comic could not produce its disturbing effect unless it fell, so to say, on the surface of a soul that is thoroughly calm and unruffled.Henri BergsonIndifference is its natural environment, for laughter has no greater foe than emotion.Henri BergsonNow step aside, look upon life as a disinterested spectator: many a drama will turn into a comedy.Henri Bergson
