Insults Quotes

a word opens can fester forever.

is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it,
top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you
can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
?J. Russel Lynes

It'd be a terrific innovation if
you could get your mind
to stretch a little further than
the next wisecrack.
?Katharine Hepburn

A graceful taunt is worth
a thousand insults.
?Louis Nizer
