James Thurber Quotes
Most Of Us, Out Of A Politeness Made Up Of Faint Curiosity And Profound Resignation, Go Out To Meet The Smiling Stranger With A Gesture Of Surrender And A Fixed Grin, But White Has Always Taken To The Fire Escape. He Has Avoided The Man In The Reception Room As He Has Avoided The Interviewer, The Photographer, The Microphone, The Rostrum, The Literary Tea, And The Stork Club. His Life Is His Own. He Is The Only Writer Of Prominence I Know Of Who Could Walk Through The Algonquin Lobby Or Between The Tables At Jack And Charlie's And Be Recognized Only By His Friends.
