‘உண்மைதான்! ஆண் பிள்ளைகளைப் போன்ற நிர்மூடர்கள் இருக்கிற உலகத்தில் பெண்களைப் பகவான் படைக்கக்கூடாது தான். உங்களால் நாங்கள் படுகிற கஷ்டம் எவ்வளவு என்பதை உணர்ந்து கொள்ளக்கூட உங்களுக்குச் சக்தி இல்லை.’

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

And his answer was probably one of the loveliest things ever said about punctuation. "This particular comma," Thurber explained, "was Ross's way of giving the men time to push back their chairs and stand up.”
