Levity Quotations
Nothing like a little judicious levity.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Joan's a dream to play - she's not always prancing around the office. There's that side to it, which is really fun, but there's nitty-gritty. She's what makes the workplace so fun - in a workplace that can be so dark and so much tension, Joan gives some levity. And the wonderful thing is she still has these darker moments among the fabulous highs.
Christina Hendricks

I try to conduct my life with a little levity.
Sheryl Crow

In my experience sometimes the darker the material that you're doing, the more necessary it is to have some sort of levity around. I've worked on more lighthearted pieces that have been more brutal and tougher to make.
Nick Stahl

Edward Irving

Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.
Doris Day

Affliction is a school of virtue; it corrects levity, and interrupts the confidence of sinning.
Francis Atterbury

You faced front, you seldom smiled, since levity was not the mark you wanted put across your face forever.
Michael Lesy
