About this Quote

Victor Borge's quote about humor speaks with its power in revealing the reality about the human condition. He recommends that humor arises from the space between our aspirations and restrictions, highlighting the absurdity of our efforts to attain the impossible. Through this lens, humor ends up being an insightful commentary on our own problematic nature. Borge likewise posits that humor is logical, perhaps since it exposes the contradictions and incongruities that underlie so much of our behavior. Eventually, Borge appears to argue that humor is an important tool for gaining a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us, specifically since it is so carefully connected to the vital reality of our existence.
