Caustic Quotations
Play not with paradoxes. That caustic which you handle in order to scorch others may happen to sear your own fingers and make them dead to the quality of things.
George Eliot
Too caustic? To hell with the costs, we'll make the picture anyway.
Samuel Goldwyn
The satirist who writes nothing but satire should write but little - or it will seem that his satire springs rather from his own caustic nature than from the sins of the world in which he lives.
Anthony Trollope
If it's a woman, it's caustic; if it's a man, it's authoritative.
Barbara Walters
