“I don’t like professional wits, pop skits, prepared jokes and puns... I never remember jokes. But I am invariably fascinated by the “smile of God” that permeates every human life. There is sometimes so much humor, wit and sarcasm in the most ordinary everyday situation; you just need to be able to see it all, fish it out of the bag of life and depict it on paper. For no humorist can compare with life itself in the inventiveness of its plot. It is she who invariably brings tears, as if the Creator does not care at all whether a person cries from laughter or from grief. For in any case, isn’t this our whole life a glorious pastime for Him?”
