Walt Kelly
Don't believe something just because you didn't read it in the papers. Wait until you haven't seen it on television.
Walt Kelly
Traces of nobility, gentleness and courage persist in all people, do what we will to stamp out the trend. So, too, do those characteristics which are ugly. It is just unfortunate that in the clumsy hands of a cartoonist all traits become ridiculous, leading to a certain amount of self-conscious expostulation and the desire to join battle.
Walt Kelly
We are confronted with insurmountable opportunities.
Walt Kelly
Man tries to swallow meaning whole as a dog would eat his dinner.
Walt Kelly
If I could only write, I'd write a nasty letter to the mayor, if he could only read.
