Quote by Jack Benny

Gags die, humor doesn't.


Gags die, humor doesn't.

Summary

This quote suggests that while specific jokes or comedic acts may become outdated or lose their relevance over time, the essence of humor remains eternal. Gags, which refer to specific comedic tricks or gimmicks, can fade away or become forgotten. However, humor itself transcends these changes and continues to evolve and resonate with people throughout generations. It implies that laughter and the ability to find amusement in life are fundamental aspects of the human experience that endure beyond any passing trends or fads in comedy.

You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. . . . Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies.

It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough.

Aldous Huxley
