"Caricature is the beginning of art. That something signifies, delights. That whatever signifies, should mock and be laughed at, delights still more. Laughing at something is the first sign of a higher psychic life (as in the fine arts)."

-Nietzsche

page 422, footnote #41 in the "Basic Writings of Nietzsche" translated by Walter Kaufmann.
