“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
“Satire lies about literary men while they live and eulogy lies about them when they die.”
Voltaire
“When facism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”
Sinclair Lewis
“(It's) intended as a piece of political satire, no more no less, and I hope that it will make people laugh and dance, and then think a little, that's all.”
George Michael
“Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot. By Order of the Author”
Mark Twain
“ If readers recognized that he was an ass, unaware of his own stupidity, ''your work will be a triumph.”
