QUOTATIONS on PARODY:
“Hey,” said Shadow. “Huginn or Muninn, or whoever you are.”
The bird turned, head tipped, suspiciously, on one side, and it stared at him with bright eyes.
“Say ‘Nevermore,’” said Shadow.
“Fuck you,” said the raven.”
― Neil Gaiman, American Gods
“Hell, if someone wrote a book about you, well, it’d sell a million copies the day it was released. And if someone else was clever enough to write a parody – you know, to provide some comic relief during these extremely difficult economic times – that would probably be an even bigger seller, or at least it should be. So, just come clean with me, Ed. Your secret’s safe with me, and whoever reads my internet blog. You…are…a…vampire!” ― Stephen Jenner, Twilite: A Parody
“[R]aging crime, class warfare, invasive immigrants, light morals, public misbehavior. Always we convince ourselves that the parade of unwelcome and despised is a new phenomenon, which is why the phrase “the good old days” has passed from cliché to self-parody.” ― Anna Quindlen, Imagined London: A Tour of the World’s Greatest Fictional City
“Most times, my mind is just an ongoing, present-tense, first-person monologue. It’s like I’m writing a novel, constantly, but only in my brain.” ― Andrew Shaffer
“How much truth is contained in something can be best determined by making it thoroughly laughable and then watching to see how much joking around it can take. For truth is a matter that can withstand mockery, that is freshened by any ironic gesture directed at it. Whatever cannot withstand satire is false.” ― Peter Sloterdijk, Critique Of Cynical Reason
“If smart people are parodying it, that’s a sure sign that some less smart people are believing it.” ― David Levithan, Every Day
