This is an ad for a craft exhibition: "Non seulement ces pièces sont-elles porteuses de **propos brillants**, charmants, profonds et même critiques, mais elles sont aussi merveilleusement exécutées". I know it's a fairly common phrase but was wondering if anyone had any ideas other than "brilliance". Thank you!

Comment: "Great suggestions, thanks. I opted for "dazzling" as I think this particular context needs something stronger than "witty". Thanks to all as always."

The object doesn't make witty remarks. It bears them. They're written (or embroidered or I don't know what) on it.
