Electric Head

Famous quotes containing the words electric and/or head:

“It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding. The only idea of wit, or rather that inferior variety of the electric talent which prevails occasionally in the North, and which, under the name of “Wut,” is so infinitely distressing to people of good taste, is laughing immoderately at stated intervals.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)

“But it thought no bed too narrow—it stood with lips askew
And shook its great head sadly like the abstract Jew.”
