It is a defect of God's humour that he directs our hearts everywhere but to those who have a right to them.

Lady Croom, Act IITom Stoppard
If a lack of empirical foundations is a defect of the theory of logical probability, it is also a defect of deductive logic.
David Stove
I have never consciously "used" humour in my life. Such humour as I may have is one of the elements in which I live. I cannot recall a time when I was not conscious of the deep, heaving, rolling ocean of hilarity that lies so very near the surface of life in most of its aspects. If I am a moralist — and I suppose I am — I am certainly not a gloomy moralist, and if humour finds its way into my work it is because I cannot help it.
Robertson Davies
Kalki introduced healthy humour as against the dull and the vulgar. His humour does not hurt anybody and so makes everybody laugh.
Kalki (R. Krishnamurthy) Krishnamurthy
The best-humour'd man, with the worst-humour'd Muse.
Oliver Goldsmith
Apart from sex linkage, we know almost nothing at present of linkage in man. Yet it is certain that every defect determined by a single factor must be located in one or other of twenty-three [sic] linkage groups. Each defect must therefore be linked in inheritance with numerous other observable traits, and with some of them is probably linked closely. The search for such linkage will certainly be lengthy, and at first, disappointing.
