WORDS BITE

Madame de Stael, a French writer of the Napoleonic period, was renowned
for her cutting tongue. She strongly disliked Talleyrand who, however,
could easily take care of himself.

"Prince," she said to him once. "There is a new book out in which the
author has represented us each of us in thin disguise. He can scarcely
value your masculinity, however, for he saw it fit to portray each of us
as an attractive woman."

"Indeed?" said Talleyrand, with an unperturbed bow. "And wrong in each
case."

- Isaac Asimov
