"Because he knows you have to laugh at the things that hurt you just to keep yourself in balance, just to keep the world from running you plumb crazy”
(One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, by Ken Kesey)
"He knew you can’t really be strong until you can see a funny side to things."

Again, top 3 books.
That laughter, that was exactly what Chief Bromden needed. He was entrapped in the fog of his creation, where everything was heavy and mostrous - where he was small and weak himself.
It took this laughter - this laughter that filled up the silences and voids and shook the room with it - to get him out of there. To make him realize he was actually one of the biggest and strongest guys around. To make him be able to run again.
"If you can't laugh at yourself, life's gonna seem a whole lot longer than you like."
