Epigram Quotes
Short lines with a sharp bite
These epigram quotes reflect on the craft of packing insight into a brief, memorable line, often comparing the practice to selecting only the finest examples from a larger body of work. They also hint at how a well-placed short saying can fit almost any situation. Word lovers may enjoy David Lean quotes as well.
