Zitat des Tages über Dummköpfe / Dunces:
When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.
The defects of great men are the consolation of the dunces.
Yeah, I think A Confederacy of Dunces is probably the perfect New Orleans book.
A wit with dunces, and a dunce with wits.
Not all celebrities are dunces.
I like characters like Ignatius Reilly in 'A Confederacy of Dunces' and Ricky Gervais's character in 'The Office.' They think one thing about themselves, but the truth is as far from that as it can be. So I began to think about how to put that kind of character in a book for kids.
