“If you are one of the hewers of wood and drawers of small weekly paychecks, your letters will have to contain some few items of news or they will be accounted dry stuff.... But if you happen to be of a literary turn of mind, or are, in any way, likely to become famous, you may settle down to an afternoon of letter-writing on nothing more sprightly in the way of news than the shifting of the wind from south to south-east.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“The Australian mind, I can state with authority, is easily boggled.”
—Charles Osborne (b. 1927)
“A Museum of fetishes would give special attention to the history of underwear.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
