Synopsis

"Quick Wit" is the second volume in Des MacHale's best-selling "Wit" series, the best-ever collection of humorous remarks, amassed over a period of 20 years. Taken from every source imaginable they have a breadth and freshness that simply cannot be matched by a trawl through a standard book of quotations. Here you'll find not only W. C. Fields and George Bernard Shaw but also a huge range of others from Paul Merton to Margaret Thatcher. Arranged thematically, the quotes in this unputdownable collection not only stand alone to tickle the humour buds but feed off - and even argue with - one another. On politics: "John Major delivers all his statements as though auditioning for the speaking clock." - Steven Glover. On sport: "I am the greatest golfer in the world. I just haven't played yet." - Muhammad Ali.
