And yet in moments dank and grim,
I wonder how we look to him.

Additional quotes by Ogden Nash

Just when you think that at least the outlook is so black that it can grow no blacker, it worsens,
And that is why I do not like the news, because there has never been an era when so many things were going so right for so many of the wrong persons.

Were it not for frustration and humiliation
I suppose the human race would get ideas above its station.

Time is timelessness for you; Calendars for the human; What's a year, or thirty, to Loveliness made woman?
