James Thurber

I had forgotten how many times I had enjoyed the wit and wisdom of this man. Here are some gems to enjoy:

All human beings should try to learn before they die what they are running from, and to, and why.

I think that maybe if women and children were in charge we would get somewhere.

One martini is all right. Two are too many, and three are not enough.

Art – the one achievement of man which has made the long trip up from all fours seem well advised.

With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraph.

Don’t get it right the first time. Just get it written.
