My father was a deeply sentimental man. And like all sentimental men, he was also very cruel.
Ernest HemingwayYou know lots of criticism is written by characters who are very academic and think it is a sign you are worthless if you make jokes or kid or even clown. I wouldn't kid Our Lord if he was on the cross. But I would attempt a joke with him if I ran into him chasing the money changers out of the temple.
