More From Groucho Marx

The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. in the end, it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. it's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. getting happy, okay? getting happy.

Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafés full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting-rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. what previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room.

And we passed through the cavern of rats. and we passed through the path of boiling steam. and we passed through the country of the blind. and we passed through the slough of despond. and we passed through the vale of tears. and we came, finally, to the ice caverns.

A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of god. an unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. to put it in the terms of saint thomas aquinas, an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law.

It's very bad to write a novel by act of will. i can do a book of nonfiction work that way - just sign the contract and do the book because, provided the topic has some meaning for me, i know i can do it. but a novel is different. a novel is more like falling in love. you don't say, 'i'm going to fall in love next tuesday, i'm going to begin my novel.' the novel has to come to you. it has to feel just like love.

Please don’t think so lightly of liking someone. it’s terribly important. it is a kind of loving, you know, and one that frequently lasts a lot longer than romance. you can fall out of love, as well in. most of us do, especially if you don’t actually like the person as well. it doesn’t always grow into love by any means, but sometimes it does.

I want to fall in love in such a way that the mere sight of a man, even a block away from me, will shake and pierce me, will weaken me, and make me tremble and soften and melt.

Know the story before you fall in love with your first sentence. if you don’t know the story before you begin the story, what kind of a storyteller are you? just an ordinary kind, just a mediocre kind – making it up as you go along, like a common liar.
