"For my birthday I got a humidifier and a de-humidifier... I put them in the same room and let them fight it out"
- Steven Wright
About this Quote
This quote by Steven Wright is a humorous take on the idea of opposites. By offering himself a humidifier and a de-humidifier for his birthday, he is making a joke about the two items being in opposition to each other. By putting them in the very same space and letting them "combat it out," he is recommending that the 2 items will be in constant battle with each other, as they are both trying to accomplish the exact same objective of managing the humidity in the space. This quote is a lighthearted way of explaining the paradox of having 2 items that are designed to do the same thing, yet are in opposition to each other. It is an amusing method of looking at the idea of opposites and how they can sometimes be in conflict with each other.
