"The editors are committed to nothing save..." - Quote by H L Mencken

“What ass first let loose the doctrine that the suffrage is a high boon and voting a noble privilege?”

“The lunatic fringe wags the underdog.”

“Absence is the dark-room in which lovers develop negatives.”

“Being a famous print journalist is like being the best-dressed woman on radio.”

“...Terry Jackson, who is the Miami Herald's automotive writer and TV critic. That's correct: This man gets paid to drive new cars AND watch television. If he ever dies and goes to heaven, it's going to be a big let down.”

“Men with the muckrake are often indispensable to the well-being of society, but only if they know when to stop raking the muck, and to look upward to the celestial crown above them.... If they gradually grow to feel that the whole world is nothing but muck their power of usefulness is gone.”

“The road to ignorance is paved with good editors.”

“This editor is a critic. He has pulled out his carving-knife and his tomahawk and is starting after a book which he is going to have for breakfast.”

“You know you’re writing well when you're throwing good stuff into the wastebasket.”
