JAMES THURBER....

Quotations

There are two kinds of light--the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.

The wit makes fun of other persons; the satirist makes fun of the world; the humorist makes fun of himself.

I think that maybe if women and children were in charge we would get somewhere.
-----
Humorist, James Thurber was born 8 December 1894. Known primarily for his contributions to New Yorker Magazine, his genres include short stories, cartoons & essays.

"James Thurber's writings and drawings were sweet and wacky, vinegary and bleak, and always alive to the comic possibilities of life and the beauty of American prose...."
