famous suffering quotesFamous quote about laughter and suffering?

I think there is a quote that says something like: "those who laugh harder is because they are suffering" or, "they do that to hide their pain", or something like that. Could you tell me the actual quote? (w/ author if possible)

Thank you very much.
There is a close connection between laughter and suffering; many cofamous suffering quotesmedians have suffered from bouts of depression and suffering. Here are a few quotations which exemplify this:

--"There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy and tragedy, humor and hurt."
Erma Bombeck

--"Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot." Charlie Chaplin famous suffering quotes

--"Comedy is an escape, not from truth but from despair; a narrow escape into faith."

--"In every tragedy, an element of comedy is preserved. Comedy is just tragedy reversed."
