One of my favorite anecdotes:

After dinner Lady Astor presided over the pouring of coffee.
When Winston Churchill came by, she glared and said.
"Winston, if I were your wife, I’d put poison in your coffee."
"Nancy," Churchill replied solemnly to the acid-tongued woman,
"if I were your husband, I’d drink it" (!!!!)

Churchill's Quote

"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject"

I can't help writing on other things.
