    There is silly then there is funny and then there is hilarious but all three do not make up history.

    It's very funny when you isolate it like that. The full quote is -

    “No mockery in this world ever sounds to me so hollow as that of being told to cultivate happiness. What does such advice mean? Happiness is not a potato, to be planted in mould, and tilled with manure. Happiness is a glory shining far down upon us out of Heaven. She is a divine dew which the soul, on certain of its summer mornings, feels dropping upon it from the amaranth bloom and golden fruitage of Paradise.”
    ― Charlotte Brontė, Villette
    She uses the same idea in a letter to her publisher George Smith, and here she sounds at least a little bit facetious -

    Tell your mother I shall try to cultivate good spirits as assiduously as she cultivates her geraniums. Remember me kindly to her and your sisters and believe me, sincerely yours, C. Bronte

    In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.
    --Terry Pratchett--
    If we shadows have offended,
    Think but this, and all is mended—
    If you pardon, we will mend,
    And Robin shall restore amends.
    Now give me your hands if we be friends.

    They f--k you up, your mum and dad.

    They may not mean to, but they do.

    They fill you with the faults they had

    And add some extra, just for you.
