Famous quotes containing the word wit:
“Man forgives women anything save the wit to outwit him.”
—Minna Antrim (1861?)
“Why should I let the toad work
Squat on my life?
Cant I use my wit as a pitchfork
And drive the brute off?”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
“So, when my days of impotence approach,
And Im by pox and wines unlucky chance
Forced from the pleasing billows of debauch
On the dull shore of lazy temperance,
My pains at least some respite shall afford
While I behold the battles you maintain
When fleets of glasses sail about the board,
From whose broadsides volleys of wit shall rain.”
—John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (16471680)
