Quotes by Christopher Duffy (?)

“For kilometres on end the road was totally jammed with vehicles drawn up three or four abreast - petrol tankers, ammunition trucks, teams of horses,ambulances. It was impossible to move forwards or back. Russian combat aircraft now arrived in wave after wave, and threw bombs into that unprotected, inextricable mass. This is what hell must be like.”

“Making the choice to take humor seriously, to work to cultivate it—it changed everything for me. It would take me years to recognize the larger philosophy behind my epiphany, namely, that a sense of humor is a portal to a better life. It’s a life where the parts of yourself that you’re most ashamed of are actually your greatest strengths.”

“so many of us just run from anything that feels like “waiting” or “transitional time” into the loving arms of the phone or the podcast or whatever our distraction of choice may be. I’m arguing that you’ll laugh more if you experiment with cultivating a practice of being in the transitions more and just seeing what’s there from time to time.”
