Name der Rose, Der (1986) - Memorable quotes
Jorge de Burgos: Laughter is a devilish wind which deforms the lineaments of the face and makes men look like monkeys.
William of Baskerville: Monkeys do not laugh. Laughter is particular to men.
Jorge de Burgos: As is sin. Christ never laughed. ..Chesterton..
William of Baskerville: Can we be so sure?
Jorge de Burgos: There is nothing in the Scriptures to say that he did.
William of Baskerville: And there's nothing in the Scriptures to say that he did not.

rg reading the above to me, reminded of Chesterton, smwhere saying ~ when He walked among us, hid smth, and I like to think it was his laughter.
ggl: Chesteron hid walked.among.us laughter
no ...his MIRTH - ah that got it, found it! end of Orthodoxy:


Yet He restrained something. I say it with reverence; there was in that shattering personality a thread that must be called shyness. There was something that He hid from all men when He went up a mountain to pray. There was something that He covered constantly by abrupt silence or impetuous isolation. There was some one thing that was too great for God to show us when He walked upon our earth; and I have sometimes fancied that it was His mirth.
