"To write songs for Groucho Marx is a privilege and a pleasure. There will never be another Groucho, which I wish he could say about me. To know him is to love him and we've been rehearsing for 60 years. I am getting to know him. Groucho believes God is good, but the feeling isn't mutual."
- Harry Ruby

- Terry Southern

"Groucho appeals on so many levels at once that you could go nuts trying to figure out whether it's the funny movement, the incomparable tone of voice, what he is saying, or that keenly witty face that hits you the hardest. I swear that if he never existed, we would sense a lack in the world of comedy, like that planet in the solar system that astronomers say Ought to be there.
For me he is The Master."
- Dick Cavett

"Ha Ha HaHa...Groucho Marx is the greatest entertainer of them all. Ha Ha haha haha..."

- Morrie Ryskind

"An interesting fact about Groucho is that he doesn't know when he's being funny. At Carnegie Hall, he couldn't understand why the audience roared with laughter
when he was scratched by a duck.
P.S. Groucho just called and denied the whole thing. Apparently he does
know when he's being funny."
- Arthur Sheekman

"If only I were 40 years older!"
- Candice Bergan

"To my dear good friend--keep warm."
- Charles Chaplin

"Some years back, after a childhood of preocupation with comedy that led me to observing the styles of all the great comedians, I came to the conclusion that Groucho Marx was the best comedian this country ever produced. Now I am more convinced than ever that I was right. I can't think of a comedian who combined a totally original physical conception that was hilarious with a matchless verbal delivery. I believe there is a natural inborn greatness in Groucho that defies close analysis as it does with any genuine artist. He is simply unique in the same way that Picasso or Stravinsky are and I believe his outrageous unsentimental disregard for order will be equally as funny a thousand years from now. In addition to all this, he makes me laugh."
- Woody Allen
