Elements of Wit Quotes

“Does drinking make you wittier? One might as well ask if witting makes you drinkier, which it may.”
― Benjamin Errett, Elements of Wit: Mastering the Art of Being Interesting

“Wit is the thought process that generates truly funny observations, as well as the most incisive comments, lasting quips, and brilliant asides. To say wit is mean is like saying the sun is mean for burning you: The giant ball of hot plasma at the center of our solar system is bigger than that, and why weren't you wearing sunscreen in the first place?”
