Lawyers work hard and, like us, they're human, many of them.
Dick Cavett
I haven't ever found any great writing on that wonderful and often unappreciated art form, the insult.
Dick Cavett
I know what it feels like to be a gun lover.
Dick Cavett
I live a sensible life. You know, I don't take on too much.

I'm not sure why writing for others became harder. Probably a reluctance to give away anything you might conceivably use yourself caused a block. I did it, but it remained hard when it had once been easy.
Dick Cavett
The information superhighway? That sounds like a place that's long and boring and kills 50,000 people a year.
Dick Cavett

Dick Cavett
Unpleasant reading on the subject of anger tells us that there's not really anything wrong with it. In limited amounts. It can even be a good thing. A pressure valve.
Dick Cavett
Teaching is an art and a profession requiring years of training.
Dick Cavett
Show people tend to treat their finances like their dentistry. They assume the man handling it knows what he is doing.
Dick Cavett
Electronic devices dislike me. There is never a day when something isn't ailing.
Dick Cavett
The Nixon administration kept a nasty eye on our show... Cops would come by - often just in time to see the act they wanted to see.
Dick Cavett
A conversation does not have to be scintillating in order to be memorable. I once met a president of the United States, and his second sentence to me was about knees.
Dick Cavett
To label me an intellectual is a misunderstanding of what that is.
Dick Cavett
Obviously those who burn to be professional jesters mean that they want to be successful comedians. And those are always an elite, microscopic portion of the population. But oh, how they try.
Dick Cavett
I think we live in an age of increasing mediocrity.
