contradiction of my time, which may well
make sarcasm the condition of truth.
?Roland Barthes
Neither irony nor sarcasm is argument.
?Rufus Choate
Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it
enough time, the public, the reviewers
will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather
ridiculous, when you think about it.
?Lenny Bruce
Blows are sarcasms turned stupid.
?George Eliot
I refused to attend his funeral.
But I wrote a very nice letter
explaining that I approved of it.
?Mark Twain
