Relief has its place. But what the people need is not relief, but release - release of their own potential for development.

Y. C. James Yen

There is reason to smile and celebrate when you win, but when you struggle, that is about laughter. That is the pathos that is rooted in all comedy. And business is full of pain and hardship and with that, laughter and release.

Ronnie Apteker

The desire for perfect release and the real-world impossibility of perfect, whenever-you-want-it release had together produced a tension they could no longer stand.

David Foster Wallace

If there's a feeling you have, other people have it. If there's something weird about your life, other people have lived it. If there's something kooky about your body, other people have that, too. We're not alone. There's some kind of tremendous relief in that and I think it can only be expressed in belly laughter. This tremendous relief that happens the millisecond we realize, it's not just me. That's what good laughter is about. It's about knowing that you're not alone.

Brene Brown

Laughter is the tonic, the relief, the surcease for pain.

Charlie Chaplin

Laughter is the most inexpensive and most effective wonder drug. Laughter is a universal medicine.

Bertrand Russell

In Roslyn, Pennsylvania, we started our real-life family circus. They provided the inspiration for my cartoons. I provided the perspiration.

Why is so much sex needed? Because you are tense, sex becomes a release. Your tensions are released through it - you feel relaxed, you can go to sleep; if you repress it, you remain tense. And if you repress sex - the only release, the only possibility of release - what will happen? You will go mad. Where will you release your tensions then?

Rajneesh

What you have to go through to release a film is probably the most arduous set of tasks - compared to all the other things an artist can release, it's probably the most labor - intensive, especially if you don't have any money and not a large team.

Terence Nance

To finish is both a relief and a release from an extraordinarily pleasant prison.

Robert Burchfield

There's an energy that comes through the release of tension that is laughter.

Twyla Tharp

'Pearl Harbor' is definitely about December 7, 1941, but it is not of December 7, 1941. It's not even really of our age, either. It has more of the feel of a film from, roughly, mid-war.

Stephen Hunter

I don't mean to diminish the job, it's a good job and a real pressure job. But I don't think a relief pitcher should ever be the most valuable player of a league. We only play in maybe half of the games. Being a relief pitcher means part-time employment. We're bench players, and bench players shouldn't be M.V.P.

Dan Quisenberry

Congress did a good thing back in 1995 in passing the Deep Water Royalty Relief Act. That act did a simple thing. It provided automatic royalty relief for new leases for 5 years in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
