About This Quote

Sarcasm, as it turned out--even when it was instinctive and quick--cut into the time one had to manufacture one's escape. The best way to get what you want is to be sarcastic and cutting when you do not get your way. It can take a little time for people to realize that sarcasm is what you really mean when you speak in a cutting tone. But it will also keep them from suspecting that there is something else going on.
