#Wit

"I dance so fluid you’d think I’m a fish. I don’t need to drink to be able to dance—I am the drink. Have a sip and find out for yourself."

"I would rather be able to appreciate things I cannot have than to have things I am not able to appreciate."

"There is, I believe, in every disposition a tendency to some particular evil, a natural defect, which not even the best education can overcome.""And your defect is a propensity to hate everybody.""And yours,"he replied with a smile, "is wilfully to misunderstand them."

"If I had to describe my sense of humor, I would say it's contemporary wit, you know what I'm saying?"

"Wit is the lowest form of humor."

"Your fantasies define you, so dream carefully. A man with no imagination is a man with no future in today’s world—and no past in tomorrow’s."

"Humor keeps us alive. Humor and food. Don't forget food. You can go a week without laughing."

"Ack!"I said.Fearless master of the witty dialogue, that's me."

"I have always been a huge admirer of my own work. I'm one of the funniest and most entertaining writers I know."

"A successful book is not made of what is in it, but what is left out of it."

"Do you like to slide?"His voice was eager.Stair rails! Did he suspect me? I forced a sigh. "No, Majesty. I'm terrified of heights.""Oh."His polite tone had returned."I wish I could enjoy it. This fear of heights is an affliction."He nodded, a show of sympathy but not much interest. I was losing him."Especially,"I added, "as I've grown taller."

"The small amount of foolery wise men have makes a great show."

"Heterosexuality is not normal, it's just common."

"Soar with wit. Conquer with dignity. Handle with care."

"You can't teach an old dogma new tricks."

"It's common platitude that knowledge is neutral but every now and then it would be useful if it was on your side and not theirs."

"Now what happens?"asked the man in black. "We face each other as God intended,"Fezzik said. "No tricks, no weapons, skill against skill alone.""You mean you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword and we'll try to kill each other like civilized people, is that it?"

"She bats her eyelashes like I’m throwing baseballs at them. I must be as romantic as Pete Rose’s last name."

"Wit and puns aren't just decor in the mind; they're essential signs that the mind knows it's on, recognizes its own software, can spot the bugs in its own program."

"There are two ways to dislike poetry: One is to dislike it; the other is to read Pope."
