"Happy is the comedy writer who was born in a country where society has not yet melted into one motionless mass, where it has not yet been enveloped by the uniform crust of that antiquated prejudice which confines everyone's thoughts to one and the same form, brings everyone's thoughts under one standard, where as many people , so many different opinions, where everyone develops their own character.

""Boldog az a komédiaíró, aki olyan országban született, ahol a társadalom még nem olvadt egyetlen mozdulatlan tömeggé, ahol még nem vonta be annak az elavult előítéletnek egységes kérge, amely egy és ugyanazon formába foglalja, egy mérce alá vonja mindenkinek a gondolatait, ahol ahány ember, annyiféle vélemény, ahol mindenki maga alakítja ki a jellemét."
