Quote by Voltaire

God is a comedian playing to an audience that is too afraid to laugh.

God is a comedian playing to an audience that is too afraid

Summary

This quote suggests that God, or a higher power, acts as a comedian trying to entertain humanity. However, the audience, representing people, is too immersed in their anxieties and fears to find humor in life's situations. It implies that individuals' apprehensions prevent them from finding joy and amusement in the unpredictability of existence, perhaps indicating a missed opportunity for humans to lighten up and embrace the comedic aspects of life.

Shams and delusions are esteemed for soundest truths, while reality is fabulous. If men would steadily observe realities only, and not allow themselves to be deluded, life ... would be like a fairy tale and the Arabian Nights' Entertainments.
