A Quote by Clyde Tombaugh

Lie is more worth living, more full of interest when you are likely to lose it. It shouldn't be, perhaps, but it is.

Once you realize you can make people laugh, it's a superpower. When you're really young, you don't know how to use that power, so I would just say the meanest things I could to get a laugh.
