If you make people think they’re thinking, they’ll love you; But if you really make them think, they’ll hate you.

About
Donald Robert Perry Marquis was born in Walnut, Illinois. He was a humorist, journalist, and author. He was variously a novelist, poet, newspaper columnist, and playwright. He is remembered best for creating the characters "Archy" and "Mehitabel", supposed authors of humorous verse. He was the author of about 35 books. He co-wrote to the films The Sports Pages, Shinbone Alley, The Good Old Soak and Skippy. The 1926 film The Cruise of the Jasper B was supposedly based on his 1916 novel of the same name, although the plots have little in common.
