Loser's Guide to Life
Il est rare qu'un homme seul ait envie de rire.Jean-Paul Sartre, La Nausée
That's an odd thing to say, because you'd think lonely people spend a good deal of their time trying to find something to laugh about. But maybe you have to consider it the other way around: a detailed appraisal of life leaves no time for actually laughing, even at amusing things, because that requires an expectation of something normal. If everything you see is potentially weird then nothing is. Or maybe Sartre was just a misery.
