I used to think I was poor. Then they told me I was not poor, I was needy. They told me it was self-defeating to think of myself as needy, I was deprived. (Oh not deprived but rather underprivileged.) Then they told me underprivileged was overused. I was disadvantaged. I still dont have a dime but I have a great vocabulary.
More Quotes from Jules Feiffer:
It is not size or age that separates children from adults. It is responsibility.Jules Feiffer
The weekly cartoons, as were my plays, came from a sense of criticism, criticism of the times, critical of the culture, of our manners and attitudes towards each other. The children's books come from the reverse. They're more supportive, since we're living in a time where we talk more about kids and do less, we talk about balancing the budget and we do it by cutting education.
