Leo Rosten's Carnival of Wit: From Aristotle to Groucho Marx
Leo Rosten
Gathers aphorisms about a variety of subjects from acting and advice to wordplay and youth
Leo Rosten has ransacked his treasury to offer you a connoisseur's collection of more than 5,000 (but who's counting?) of the funniest things people have said and written over the centuries and over the world. He has arranged them by subjects and styles to make your browsing that much more bountiful. And he has supplied not only his captivating commentary but a potpourri of very personal profiles of such immortal luminaries of laughter as Dorothy Parker, Groucho Marx, Oscar Levant, Samuel Goldwyn, Yogi Berra, and other star sidesplitters.
