• If I'm a cruel satirist at least I'm not a hyprocrite: I never judge what other people do. Neither a politician nor a priest, I never censor what others do. Neither a philospher nor a psychiatrist, I never bother trying to analyze or resolve my fears and neuroses.

  Federico Fellini

• Statistics, one may hope, will improve gradually, and become good for something. Meanwhile, it is to be feared the crabbed satirist was partly right, as things go: "A judicious man," says he, "looks at Statistics, not to get knowledge, but to save himself from having ignorance foisted on him."

• Apenas hay una pasión que los moralistas y los satíricos describan tan cordialmente como la AMBICIÓN; y, sin embargo, creo que la ambición no es un vicio sino en una mente viciosa: en una mente virtuosa es una virtud, y se encontrará que toma su color del carácter en el que se mezcla. La ambición es un deseo de superioridad; y un hombre puede llegar a ser superior, ya sea haciendo a otros menos o a sí mismo más grande.

• No novel has ever changed anything, as far as I can see. And the great satirists, like Swift and Dickens, tend to write about abuses and injustices that have already been partially corrected - you write about it after it's over.

• I think the worst thing we can do is to concede to fanaticism its devotion, say. Well, you have to understand, these people are really fanatics, so we should back down from them. I think if journalists start doing that then they won't be practicing journalism. If satirists start doing that then they won't be practicing satire.

• Creo que ningún escritor satírico podría respirar este aire. Si mañana surgiera entre nosotros otro Juvenal o Swift, sería perseguido. Si usted tiene algún conocimiento de nuestra literatura, y puede darme el nombre de algún hombre, nacido y criado en América, que haya anatomizado nuestras locuras como pueblo, y no como este o aquel partido; y que haya escapado a la calumnia más vil y brutal, al odio más inveterado y a la persecución intolerante; será un nombre extraño a mis oídos, créame.
