Springfield Confidential: Jokes, Secrets, and Outright Lies from a Lifetime Writing for The Simpsons
by
When the news of the world becomes jokes on The Simpsons, that’s satire. But when jokes on The Simpsons become the news of the world—well, that’s just fucked up.
“Love is wise; hatred is foolish. In this world, which is getting more and more closely interconnected, we have to learn to tolerate each other, we have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we don't like. We can only live together in that way. But if we are to live together, and not die together, we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance, which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet.”

“Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life.
