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.

As long as Nazi violence was unleashed only, or mainly, against the Jews, the rest of the world looked on passively and even treaties and agreements were made with the patently criminal government of the Third Reich.... The doors of Palestine were closed to Jewish immigrants, and no country could be found that would admit those forsaken people. They were left to perish like their brothers and sisters in the occupied countries. We shall never forget the heroic efforts of the small countries, of the Scandinavian, the Dutch, the Swiss nations, and of individuals in the occupied part of Europe who did all in their power to protect Jewish lives.
