Some things are so completely ludicrous that a man must laugh or die. To die laughing must be the most glorious of all glorious deaths!
No true individual has existed yet, able to live, able to die. Only diseased, tragic, or dismal and ludicrous fools who sometimes hoped to achieve some ideal by fiat, by their great desire for it. But usually by bullying all mankind into believing them. - Saul Bellow, Herzog
