Louis C. K. Laughing Quotations

There are people that really live by doing the right thing, but I don't know what that is, I'm really curious about that. I'm really curious about what people think they're doing when they're doing something evil, casually. I think it's really interesting, that we benefit from suffering so much, and we excuse ourselves from it.

It's a positive thing to talk about terrible things and make people laugh about them.

Talking is always positive. That's why I talk too much.

There's no such thing as a cheap laugh.

To me the goal of comedy is to just laugh, which is a really high hearted thing, visceral connection and reaction.

I get mad like anybody else does, but being able to laugh about getting mad is very healthy, and my kids know that.

If you're older, you're smarter. I just believe that. If you're in an argument with someone older than you, you should listen to 'em. Even if they're wrong, their wrongness is rooted in more information than you have.

When you write from your gut and let the stuff stay flawed and don't let anybody tell you to make it better, it can end up looking like nothing else.

There's nowhere I won't go. As long as it's horribly, horribly true and/or wrong.

Performing comedy, you develop a rhythm of ideas and laughs. I live for it.

I find that when people laugh really hard, it's usually because they're connecting and identifying in a way that they hadn't considered. That's my payoff.

I learned that money can be a lot of things,It can be something that is hoarded, fought over, protected, stolen and withheld. Or it can be like an energy, fueled by the desire, will, creative interest, need to laugh, of large groups of people. And it can be shuffled and pushed around and pooled together to fuel a common interest, jokes about garbage, penises and parenthood.

Out of the people that ever were, almost all of them are dead. There are way more dead people, and you're all gonna die and then you're gonna be dead for way longer than you're alive. Like that's mostly what you're ever gonna be. You're just dead people that didn't die yet.

God is like a shitty girlfriend.

I've started to kind of hate people, and it's not because I have anything against them. It's just, I enjoy it. It's recreation.

Everything that's difficult you should be able to laugh about.

You’ll be fine. You’re 25. Feeling [unsure] and lost is part of your path. Don’t avoid it. See what those feelings are showing you and use it. take a breath. You’ll be okay. Even if you don’t feel okay all the time.
