Antipholus of Syracuse: Why, but there's many a man hath more hair than wit.
Dromio of Syracuse: Not a man of those but he hath the wit to lose his hair.

lines from the play The Comedy of Errors, Act II, Scene 2, script by William Shakespeare (1594)

The witty woman is a tragic figure in American life. Wit destroys eroticism and eroticism destroys wit, so women must choose between taking lovers and taking no prisoners.

It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothes. But the half-wit remains a half-wit, and the emperor remains an emperor.

Speech Therapy

He lures her by his wit
As she lures him by her looks.
His wit only can whip her
For the looks she hooks with.
Open a speech therapy for men
Like beauty parlours for women.

Wit

it is the wit
that makes the tweet

it is not the phrasing
or the singing

it is the wit
that makes the lit

it is the rhyme
that is prime

it is the wish
that does not piss

i keep this bliss
without a miss.

Wit is so shining a quality that everybody admires it; most people aim at it, all people fear it, and few love it unless in themselves. A man must have a good share of wit himself to endure a great share of it in another.

How Do I Say

How do I say my emotions 2 u
How do I say that I want 2 b there
n help u wit wat ever ur goin' through
How do I say that I want 2 b real
How do I say that I'm crazy 4 u
Crazy was, crazy still
Until the end of time
I won't know how 2 say this
so I'll ay it like this
I love u wit all my heart
n I want u 2 b mine

The wit and the fate

Can the wit win the fate? A great debate.
Wit is cause and fate is its result.
Can the cause win its result?
It is like the birth winning the death.
Fate is beyond one’s perception,
Which is known when it’s happened.
What has happened is coined as fate.

‘this is an art which does mend Nature.
… the art itself is Nature.’*
*The Winter’s Tale’ Act iv, seen iv

Song

FOR her gait, if she be walking;
Be she sitting, I desire her
For her state's sake; and admire her
For her wit if she be talking;
Gait and state and wit approve her;
For which all and each I love her.

Be she sullen, I commend her
For a modest. Be she merry,
For a kind one her prefer I.
Briefly, everything doth lend her
So much grace, and so approve her,
That for everything I love her.
