When insults had class:
"He has all the virtues I dislike, and none of the vices I admire." --
Winston Churchill
"I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great
pleasure." -- Clarence Darrow
"He has never been known to use a word that might send a reader to the
dictionary." -- William Faulkner (about Ernest Hemingway)
"I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it." -- Groucho
Marx
"I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of
it." -- Mark Twain
"He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends." -- Oscar
Wilde
George Bernard Shaw said to Winston Churchill: "I am enclosing two tickets
to the first night of my new play. Bring a friend... if you have one."
Churchill's response: "Can not possibly attend first night; will attend
second, if there is one."
"I feel so miserable without you; it's almost like having you here." --
Stephen Bishop
"He is a self-made man, and worships his creator." -- John Bright
"I've just learned about his illness. Let's hope it's nothing trivial." --
Irvin S Cobb
"He is not only dull himself; he is the cause of dullness in others." --
Samuel Johnson
"He had delusions of adequacy." -- Walter Kerr
"His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork." -- Mae West
"Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go." -- Oscar
Wilde
Lady Astor once remarked to Winston Churchill at a dinner party, "Winston,
if you were my husband, I would poison your coffee!"
Winston replied, "Madam, if I were your husband, I would drink it."
Its fair chase, or its foul!
