The wit makes fun of other persons the satirist makes fun of the world the humorist makes fun of himself, but in so doing, he identifies himself with people – that is, people everywhere, not for the purpose of taking them apart, but simply revealing their true nature. – James Thurber
As long as I retain my feeling and my passion for Nature, I can partly soften or subdue my other passions and resist or endure those of others. – Lord Byron
