James Thurber Zitate

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.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Der Witz macht sich über andere Personen lustig; der Satiriker macht sich über die Welt lustig; der humorist macht sich über sich selbst lustig, identifiziert sich dabei aber mit den menschen - das heißt den Menschen überall, nicht um sie auseinander zu nehmen, sondern um ihre wahre natur aufzuzeigen.

As a filmmaker, I've sat on the other side, and I've watched when people I know have a film, and it's doing really well, and people are talking about it in all the trades, and everybody is excited about it, and I've always thought, 'Hmm, what would that be like?'

I would drive home and see people wearing my No. 34 jersey and wonder why, because I didn't feel worthy of that. And all the time I just knew people were staring at me, talking about me everywhere I went.
