“Don't say it was "delightful"; make us say "delightful" when we've read the description. You see, all those words (horrifying, wonderful, hideous, exquisite) are only like saying to your readers "Please will you do the job for me."”
C.S. Lewis
“It is odd that 'sword' and 'words' have the same letters and even more strange that they have the same effect.”
Brandi Keeler
“If we did not flatter ourselves the flattery from others would not harm us.”
Proverb
“The voice of flattery affects us after it has ceased, just as after a concert men find some agreeable air ringing in their ears to the exclusion of all serious business”
Seneca
“We created this segment, ... Flattery is very nice -- all these other people have come after us. -- We said let's see what they are doing and see if we can adapt some things.”
Allen Bernstein
“Yet each man kills the thing he loves, By each let this be heard, Some do it with a bitter look, Some with a flattering word. The coward does it with a kiss, The brave man with a sword!”
Oscar Wilde
“Attempts at imitation are the sincerest form of flattery, ... There's many of us sitting around today that are very flattered.”
