James Thurber
  • The most dangerous food is wedding cake.

  • Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?

  • Progress was all right. Only it went on too long.

  • The past is an old armchair in the attic, the present an ominous ticking sound, and the future is anybody's guess.

  • The appreciative smile, the chuckle, the soundless mirth, so important to the success of comedy, cannot be understood unless one sits among the audience and feels the warmth created by the quality of laughter that the audience takes home with it.
