Laughter... the most civilized music in the world.

Laughter would be bereaved if snobbery died.

I hate being moved. I hate that man who came in. So self-righteous, so cruel. He made fun of me, that's why I cried. You never did that. You led me into temptation by your - politeness.

I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter, the sound of which has always seemed to me the most civilised music in the world.
