Love is what you've been through with somebody. - James Thurber

"The nation that complacently and fearfully allows its artists and writers to become suspected rather than respected is no longer regarded as a nation possessed with humor or depth."

"Humor is a serious thing. I like to think of it as one of our greatest earliest natural resources, which must be preserved at all cost."

"Humor is emotional chaos remembered in tranquility."

"All human beings should try to learn before they die what they are running from, and to, and why."
