Famous quotes containing the words thurber and/or wrote:
“I always begin at the left with the opening word of the sentence and read toward the right and I recommend this method.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“When I wrote of the women in their dances and wildness, it was a mask,
on their mountain, gold-hunting, singing, in orgy,
it was a mask; when I wrote of the god,
fragmented, exiled from himself, his life, the love gone down with song,
it was myself, split open, unable to speak, in exile from myself.
...
No more masks! No more mythologies!”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
