Letter "S" » Satire
"Why should we fear; and what? The laws?
They all are armed in virtue's cause;
And aiming at the self-same end,
Satire is always virtue's friend."
Author: Charles Churchill
About: Satire
"Unless a love of virtue light the flame,
Satire is, more than those he brands, to blame;
He hides behind a magisterial air
He own offences, and strips others' bare."
Author: William Cowper
About: Satire
"The artist, like the God of the creation, remains within or
behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out
of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails."
Author: James Joyce

[Lat., Difficile est satiram non scribere.]"
Author: Juvenal (Decimus Junius Juvenal)

Author: Juvenal (Decimus Junius Juvenal)
About: Satire
"Men are more satirical from vanity than from malice."
Author: Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld
About: Satire
"Satire should, like a polished razor keen,
Wound with a touch that's scarcely felt or seen.
Thine is an oyster knife, that hacks and hews;
The rage but not the talent to abuse."
Author: Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
About: Satire
"I wear my Pen as others do their Sword.
To each affronting sot I meet, the word
Is Satisfaction: straight to thrusts I go,
And pointed satire runs him through and through."
Author: John Oldham
About: Satire
"Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer,
And without sneering teach the rest to sneer;
Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike,
Just hint a fault, and hesitate dislike;
Alike reserv'd to blame, or to commend,
A tim'rous foe, and a suspicious friend."
Author: Alexander Pope
About: Satire
"Satire or sense, alas! Can Sporus feel?
Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?"
Author: Alexander Pope
