Quotation Subject
Quotations About This Subject:
- When it comes to taking chances, some people like to play poker or shoot dice; other people prefer to parachute jump, go rhino hunting, or climb ice floes, while still others engage in crime or marriage. But I like to get drunk and drive like a fool. Name me, if you can, a better feeling than the one you get when you're half a bottle of Chivas in the bag with a gram of coke up your nose, and a teen-age lovely pulling off her tube top in the next seat over while you're going a hundred miles an hour down a suburban sidestreet. You'd have to watch the entire Mexican air force crash-land in a liquid petroleum gas storage facility to match this kind of thrill. If you ever have much more fun than that, you'll die of pure sensory overload, I'm here to tell you.
- The secret source of humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven.
- A caricature is putting the face of a joke on the body of a truth.
- Humor is, I think, the sublets and chanciest of literary forms. It is surely not accidental that there are a thousand novelists, essayists, poets or journalists for each humorist. It is a long, long time between James Thurbers
- True humor springs not more from the head than from the heart. It is not contempt; its essence is love. It issues not in laughter, but in still smiles, which lie far deeper.
- Levity is often less foolish and gravity less wise than each of them appears.
- In the end, everything is a gag.
- Good taste and humor are a contradiction in terms, like a chaste whore.
- One should never risk a joke, even of the mildest and most unexceptional charters, except among people of culture and wit.
- Imagination was given man to compensate for what he is not, and a sense of humor to console him for what he is.
