Sigmund Freud (1856 - 1939)

Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit.
Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)

Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace.
Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)

To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself.
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
