Myself, I could not write a witty comment to save my life. I am particularly grateful to the individuals who reply with a response one note more clever. Cheers to you.

Didn't get to this until the end of the day, but while I didn't chuckle, I definitely smiled at the Carrie Fisher quote, so thanks!

dear benjamin,

great post this week! some of my fave quotes:

“Humility is no substitute for a good personality.”

— Fran Lebowitz

“If a stranger in the train asks me my occupation, I never answer ‘writer’ for fear that he may go on to ask me what I write, and to answer poetry would embarrass us both.”

— W.H. Auden

“I was born modest, but it didn’t last.”

— Mark Twain

thanks for sharing!

love

I voted Pride for your next subject because it looks like you’ve been wanting to write on it for a long time, but your fans won’t let you. Plus, it pairs well with self-deprecation.
