Satire Book

Famous quotes containing the words satire and/or book:

    Comedy has to be done en clair. You can’t blunt the edge of wit or the point of satire with obscurity. Try to imagine a famous witty saying that is not immediately clear.
    James Thurber (1894–1961)

    This book was written in good faith, reader. It warns you from the outset that in it I have set myself no goal but a domestic and private one.... I am myself the matter of my book.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
