“Solemnity, I don't know what it's for. I mean, what is the point of it? The two most beautiful memorial services that I've ever attended both had a lot of humor. It somehow freed us all and made the services inspiring and cathartic. But solemnity, it serves pomposity.

And so, dishonestly, they pretend that their deficiency makes their views more substantial.”
― John Cleese.
