IRONY QUOTES

• You know, in my music career there was a moment where the irony was just so heavy. There were people in my audience that were the reason I developed neuroses. These people that tortured my life were using my art, my poetry, as fuel for them, to torture other people.
  ~ Fred Durst ~
• At a time like this, scorching irony, not convincing argument, is needed.
  ~ Frederick Douglass ~
• You know the great irony is that people think you have to have money to enjoy fine food, which is a shame.
  ~ Ted Allen ~
• My father could be very witty, even if the humor was always on the darker side of irony.
  ~ Maurice Sendak ~
• The kind of funny irony is that a lot of people talk about ethical meat eating as if it's a way to care about things, but also not to alienate yourself from the rest of the world. But it's so much more alienating than vegetarianism.
  ~ Jonathan Safran Foer ~
• What people adore about superhero movies is the signal quality of the Christopher Nolan films - their complete lack of irony when it comes to the portrayal of heroism and the need for heroes to confront evil.
  ~ John Podhoretz ~
• Irony is the gaiety of reflection and the joy of wisdom.
  ~ Anatole France ~
• It is hard to miss the irony in the fact that the very same week that Republicans were publicly heralding Congressman Paul Ryan's plan to inject market forces into the American health care system, they were crafting a budget deal to strip them from the health reform law.
  ~ Ron Wyden ~
• The irony is that it was tougher to rent a car from Cerberus when it owned Alamo than to buy a semi-automatic. To rent a car, one had to provide ID, a drivers' license, and get insurance coverage. To buy a gun? Cash and carry, from the back of a station wagon at a gun show. No concerns about downstream liability or risk.
  ~ Eliot Spitzer ~
• As you watch the world crumble, try taking your Armageddon with this sprinkling of irony: Over the last three decades, business has got virtually everything it wanted, and its doomsday scenario from the 1970s has come true because of it.
  ~ Thomas Frank ~
• Irony regards every simple truth as a challenge.
  ~ Mason Cooley ~
