James Thurber
“Don't get it right, get it written.”
James Thurber

James Thurber
“For one thing, she pronounced flowers 'flars' and I couldn't let it slide.”
James Thurber

Stephen Fry
“I have written it before and am not ashamed to write it again. Without Wodehouse I am not sure that I would be a tenth of what I am today -- whatever that may be. In my teenage years, his writings awoke me to the possibilities of language. His rhythms, tropes, tricks and mannerisms are deep within me.
But more than that, he taught me something about good nature. It is enough to be benign, to be gentle, to be funny, to be kind.”
Stephen Fry

James Thurber
“The wit makes fun of other persons; the satirist makes fun of the world; the humorist makes fun of himself, but in so doing, he identifies himself with people – that is, people everywhere, not for the purpose of taking them apart, but simply revealing their true nature.”
James Thurber

J.B. Morton
“One disadvantage of being a hog is that at any moment some blundering fool may try to make a silk purse out of your wife's ear.”
J.B. Morton
