• Answer:

  Oscar Wilde has some good witty quotes. If you do a google search using his name ans in Oscar Wilde+quotations, you can find a number of web sites with his quotations, mostly from his plays. The following is an example and is one of many sites: http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Oscar_Wilde/ If you do a search using a specific word or a theme such as the word "truth" or the word "love", adding +quotations, you can find many more quotations. An example is to follow: http://www.wisdomquotes.com/cat_truth.html I often pay attention to good quotes I notice on t-shirts, mugs and bookmarks. One example that comes to mind is "...the journey doesn't end here." from 'Lord of the Rings', which I saw on a fancy and rather expensive bookmark. It was short and to the point and, given its source, the type of quotation you would find in a high school publication. As well, you can key in the name of a good author or a popular public figure and find quotations. I like the quotations of Frank Zappa about politics and democracy. The lines of a lot of songs should pass as quotations, since song writers are artists just like poets are. Leonard Cohen is an example. If you know a musician or actor whose public messages have given them a name for being outspoken, key in the person and qualify your search with a plus sign and the word "quotations". I also have on hand the book 'The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations', which is a good reference book, listing many authors and sources in alphabetical order (including anonymous quotes and sayings) and available through a bookstore or Amazon.com.
