Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“One might be led to suspect that there were all sorts of things going on in the Universe which he or she did not thoroughly understand.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

Gary Larson
“Welcome to Hell. Here's your accordion.”
Gary Larson, The Complete Far Side, 1980–1994

Eric Idle
“At least one way of measuring the freedom of any society is the amount of comedy that is permitted, and clearly a healthy society permits more satirical comment than a repressive, so that if comedy is to function in some way as a safety release then it must obviously deal with these taboo areas. This is part of the responsibility we accord our licensed jesters, that nothing be excused the searching light of comedy. If anything can survive the probe of humour it is clearly of value, and conversely all groups who claim immunity from laughter are claiming special privileges which should not be granted.”
Eric Idle

Vladimir Nabokov
“Satire is a lesson, parody is a game.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Strong Opinions

Lenny Bruce
“Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it enough time, the public, the reviewers will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather ridiculous, when you think about it.”
Lenny Bruce, The Essential Lenny Bruce: his original unexpurgated satirical routines
