Famous quotes containing the words parody and/or homage:

    “Satire is a lesson, parody is a game.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “Your business is not to catch men with show,
    With homage to the perishable clay,
    But lift them over it, ignore it all,
    Make them forget there’s such a thing as flesh.
    Your business is to paint the souls of men—”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)
