“If you can see things out of whack, then you can see how things can be in whack.”

Dr. Seuss (1904–1991) American children's writer and illustrator, co-founder of Beginner Books

As quoted in "Author Isn't Just a Cat in the Hat" by Miles Corwin in The Los Angeles Times (27 November 1983); also in Dr. Seuss: American Icon (2004) by Philip Nel, p. 38
Context: Nonsense wakes up the brain cells. And it helps develop a sense of humor, which is awfully important in this day and age. Humor has a tremendous place in this sordid world. It's more than just a matter of laughing. If you can see things out of whack, then you can see how things can be in whack.

With bullets made of platinum,

His hide is sure to flatten 'em.”
