“The satirist who writes nothing but satire should write but little -- or it will seem that his satire springs rather from his own caustic nature than from the sins of the world in which he lives.”
Anthony Trollope
“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
“Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Satire lies about literary men while they live and eulogy lies about them when they die.”
Voltaire
“A spoonful of honey will catch more flies than a gallon of vinegar.”
Benjamin Franklin
“ If readers recognized that he was an ass, unaware of his own stupidity, ''your work will be a triumph.”
Mark Twain
“When facism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”
Sinclair Lewis
