"Criticism is prejudice made plausible...." - Quote by H L Mencken

“Next to the semi-colon, quotation marks seem to be the chief butts of reformatory ardor.”

“He who eats alone chokes alone.”

“We are here and it is now. Further than that, all human knowledge is moonshine.”

“Look at the Chandra Levy case. It's become a Star Chamber. The major networks, the cable networks, they're being prosecutors. They're judges and jurors and executioners. Well, c'mon, that's ridiculous. But they're doing it.”

“English plays, Atrocious in content, Absurd in form, Objectionable in action, Execrable EnglishTheatre.”

“I never read one hateful thing said about me by some 12-year-old. So I got to live an actual life. And I've kept that mentality. Just because there's a hurricane going on around you doesn't mean you have to open the window and look at it.”

“If you do not exclude them, in less than 200 years our descendants will be working in the fields to furnish them substance, while they will be in the counting houses rubbing their hands. I warn you, gentlemen, if you do not exclude Jews for all time, your children will curse you in your graves.”

“I like to feel prejudice towards people who are prejudice”

“Naturally, every age thinks that all ages before it were prejudiced, and today we think this more than ever and are just as wrong as all previous ages that thought so. How often have we not seen the truth condemned! It is sad but unfortunately true that man learns nothing from history.”
