"I think that maybe if women and children were in charge we would get somewhere." ― James Thurber Topic(s): Women More From James Thurber "Comedy has to be done en clair. You can’t blunt the edge of wit or the point of satire with obscurity. Try to imagine a famous witty saying that is not immediately clear." "I’m 65 and I guess that puts me in with the geriatrics. But if there were fifteen months in every year, I’d only be 48. That’s the trouble with us. We number everything. Take women, for example. I think they deserve to have more than twelve years between the ages of 28 and 40." "Women are wiser than men because they know less and understand more." More In Women "A book is a fragile creature, it suffers the wear of time, it fears rodents, the elements and clumsy hands. so the librarian protects the books not only against mankind but also against nature and devotes his life to this war with the forces of oblivion."― Umberto Eco "I’m quite sure that most writers would sustain real poetry if they could, but it takes devotion and talent."― Marguerite Young "No doubt exists that all women are crazy; it’s only a question of degree."― W. C. Fields
