1 " I have a different idea of elegance. I don't dress like a fop, it's true, but my moral grooming is impeccable. I never appear in public with a soiled conscience, a tarnished honor, threadbare scruples, or an insult that I haven't washed away. I'm always immaculately clean, adorned with independence and frankness. I may not cut a stylish figure, but I hold my soul erect. I wear my deeds as ribbons, my wit is sharper then the finest mustache, and when I walk among men I make truths ring like spurs. "
― Edmond Rostand , Cyrano de Bergerac
2 " That night as I lay in bed, I thought of several things I could have said and mourned the fact that my wit usually bloomed late, peaking when it no longer mattered, during the solitary hours close to midnight. "
― Siri Hustvedt , The Blindfold
3 " I have a black belt in sarcasm, and my wit is like lightning. "
― N.R. Walker , Sense of Place (Thomas Elkin, #3)
4 " sloughing my skin / escaping it's grip / stripped of my wit / it hurts to be me . "
― Maggie Stiefvater , Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1)
