Satirize wickedness if you must--but pity weakness.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Image
In order to satirize adequately, I think you need to bring people down to Earth and be like, 'Yeah, these people drink coffee and have tummy troubles and they go to the bathroom like anybody else, and they all have relationship problems, if they even have relationships.'
Anna Chlumsky
Image
In my work, I participate in the things that I critique. I satirize the things that I love and know well and find problematic.

Smart writers never understand why their satires on our town are never successful. What they refuse to accept is that you can't satirize a satire.
Hedda Hopper
Image
Should a writer single out and point his raillery at particular persons, or satirize the miserable, he might be sure of pleasing a great part of his readers, but must be a very ill man if he could please himself.
Joseph Addison
Image
What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist. Without the freedom to challenge, even to satirize all orthodoxies, it ceases to exist. Language and the imagination cannot be imprisoned, or art will die, and with it, a little of what makes us human.
Salman Rushdie

Wit and humor seem to always factor into this - there's a tongue-in-cheek tone you get when you take on a formalist story - because there's an inherent voice you're trying to copy (and often to satirize).
Alexander Weinstein

If nothing is serious anymore, then there's nothing to satirize.
Berkeley Breathed

Cubans joke and satirize everything that life gives them, and I think that's a positive characteristic.
Fernando Perez

Anytime you make someone laugh or satirize something, it's the best way to change someone's opinion because they're defenseless - they laugh, they listen.
John Waters
Image
Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it enough time, the public, the reviewers will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather ridiculous, when you think about it.
Lenny Bruce
Image
It's always harder satirize what you like rather than what you dislike.
Robert Mankoff
Image
Some people you don't have to satirize, you just quote 'em.
Tom Paxton
