О Джэймсе Тербере.
А пока его цитаты.
- "Why do you have to be a nonconformist like everybody else?"
- "If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven, and very, very few persons."
- "Humor is emotional chaos remembered in tranquility."
- "It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers."
- "You can fool too many of the people too much of the time."
- "One martini is all right. Two are too many, and three are not enough."
- "There is no safety in numbers, or in anything else."
- "You might as well fall flat on your face as lean too far backward"
- "Somebody has said that woman's place is in the wrong. That's fine. What the wrong needs is a woman's presence and a woman's touch. She is far better equipped than men to set it right." Thurber went on to clarify his conception of women by saying, "If I have sometimes seemed to make fun of Woman, I assure you it has only been for the purpose of egging her on."
- "Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness."
- "All men should strive to learn before they die what they are running from, and to, and why."
- “Boys are beyond the range of anybody's sure understanding, at least when they are between the ages of 18 months and 90 years.”
