Humorous Sketches

Famous quotes containing the words humorous and/or sketches:

    “Oh, to vex me, contraries meet in one:
    Inconstancy unnaturally hath begot
    A constant habit; that when I would not
    I change in vows, and in devotion.
    As humorous is my contrition
    As my profane Love, and as soon forgot:
    As ridlingly distempered, cold and hot,”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)

    “Giles Lacey: I say, old boy, I’m trying to find exactly what your wife does do.
    Maxim de Winter: She sketches a little.
    Giles Lacey: Sketches. Oh not this modern stuff, I hope. You know, portrait of a lamp shade upside down to represent a soul in torment.”
    —Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)
