In my many years as a writer, I’ve developed a fondness for the apt quotation—the acerbic riposte, the witty remark, the insightful observation on life and its foibles. This will be an ongoing gathering of bon mots.
There is no distinctly American class—except Congress.
Mark Twain
Wit is educated insolence.
Aristotle
Only the mediocre are always at their best.
Jean Girardoux
The cure for writer’s cramp is writer’s block.
Inigo de Leon
I always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific.
Lily Tomlin
Having your book turned into a movie is like
having your oxen turned into bouillon cubes.
John Le Carré
If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.
Saturday Night Live
I’m not afraid to die. I just don’t want to be there when it happens.
Woody Allen
Old age comes at a bad time.
Sue Banducci
I want my immortality now, and I want it in cash.
Leonore Fleischer
And finally, the message on a local T-shirt:
If it’s tourist season, why can’t we shoot them?
