Gilbert Highet Quotes - Page 2

• El arte de la invectiva se parece al arte del boxeo. Muy pocos combates se ganan con una izquierda directa. Es demasiado obvia y puede contrarrestarse con demasiada facilidad. Los mejores puñetazos, al igual que las mejores invectivas en este estilo, son o bien golpes cortos con el brazo, inesperadamente rápidos y mortales; o bien golpes uno-dos, en los que preparas a tu oponente con el primer golpe, y luego, cuando su cara se acerca, conectas con tu otro puño: uno, dos. Ambos son eficaces, pero sólo pueden ser administrados por un verdadero artista, con un verdadero deseo de noquear a su enemigo.
