Fran Leibowitz

"Metropolitan Life" ← !

Her prevailing mode is High Sardonic Low Brow-Beating.

But this quote is pure love:

"I think humor is warmer, and wit is colder. Wit is judgment, whereas humor invites some sort of response."

(Not sure that quote is from Metropolitan Life. Mostly I remember the High Sardonic Low Brow-Beating material.)
