Quotations for caricature

Prudery is the caricature of modesty. [ Lingree ]

Fiction may be said to be the caricature of history. [ Edward Bulwer-Lytton ]

Every man's follies are the caricature resemblances of his wisdom. [ John Sterling ]

By the long practice of caricature I have lost the enjoyment of beauty: I never see a face but distorted. [ Hogarth to a lady who wished to learn caricature ]

What caricature is in painting, burlesque is in writing; and in the same manner the comic writer and painter correlate to each other; as in the former, the painter seems to have the advantage, so it is in the latter infinitely on the side of the writer. For the monstrous is much easier to paint than describe, and the ridiculous to describe than paint. [ Fielding ]
