Notes

From The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations:-

L'esprit de l'escalier
Staircase wit.
The witty riposte one thinks of only when one has left the drawing room and is already on the way downstairs, in Paradoxe sur le Comédien (written 1773-8, published 1830)
Denis Diderot (1713-84) French philosopher and man of letters

(It's decribed in Paradoxe sur le Comédien, but the phrase itself isn't in this text.)
