Now and then I stumble upon and jot down noteworthy quotes. But what’s the use if I never share them? Please enjoy my personal collection from the section I call “enviable insults.”

He excels at utterly missing the point and dragging out ad nauseam his endless nitpicking, all while looking in the mirror and admiring how reasonable and smart he must look. —Steve Cuno

And let’s not forget that classic, said by Mark Twain (I think) as he was departing a party. “I just want to let you know I’ve had a wonderful time. However, this wasn’t one of those times”.
