“There are two types of light – the glow that illuminates, and the glare – that obscures.”

James Thurber (1894 to 1961)

James Thurber, in full James Grover Thurber, was an American writer and cartoonist, whose well-known and highly acclaimed writings and drawings picture the urban man as one who escapes into fantasy because he is befuddled and beset by a world that he neither created nor understands.
