at the moon while pissing on graves.
?Karl Kraus
Irony is the gaiety of reflection
and the joy of wisdom.
?Anatole France
Irony is jesting behind hidden gravity.
?John Weiss
A taste for irony has kept more hearts
from breaking than a sense
of humor for it takes irony to appreciate
the joke which is on oneself.
?Jessamyn West
Irony is an insult conveyed in
the form of a compliment.
?Edwin P. Whipple
Neither irony nor sarcasm is argument.
?Rufus Choate
