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)

    The bottle is drunk out by one;
    At two, the book is shut;
    At three, the lovers lie apart,
    Love and its commerce done....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
