Humor is consistent with pathos, whilst wit is not.

Summary

This quote suggests that humor and pathos, which involves evoking pity or sympathy, can coexist harmoniously. They both touch on emotions and create a sense of connection between individuals. On the other hand, wit is different as it often involves clever wordplay, quick thinking, and intellectual humor, which may not always evoke deep emotions or a sense of empathy. Unlike humor, wit may not necessarily be concerned with evoking pathos or creating an emotional resonance with the audience.
