Valin Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Ricochet Aaron Miller 5/3/12 One doesn't normally consider insults as signs of civility, but this collection of famous insults reminds me why I love pre-post-modern literature and oration. (Snip) A member of Parliament to Disraeli: "Sir, you will either die on the gallows or of some unspeakable disease." "That depends, Sir," said Disraeli, "whether I embrace your policies or your mistress." (Snip) "I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it." - Mark Twain (Snip) "He is not only dull himself; he is the cause of dullness in others." - Samuel Johnson (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
