James Thurber

James Thurber
Laughter need not be cut out of anything, since it improves everything.
James Thurber
Why do you have to be a nonconformist like everybody else?
James Thurber
We all have faults, and mine is being wicked.
James Thurber
You are all a lost generation, Gertrude Stein said to Hemingway. We weren't lost. We knew where we were, all right, but we wouldn't go home. Ours was the generation that stayed up all night.
James Thurber
