"The truly civilized man is always skeptical..." - Quote by H L Mencken

“I have often argued that a poet more than thirty years old is simply an overgrown child. I begin to suspect that there may be some truth in it.”

“The mistake that is made always runs the other way. Because the plain people are able to speak and understand, and even, in many cases, to read and write, it is assumed that they have ideas in their heads, and an appetite for more. This assumption is a folly.”

“There are men so philosophical that they can see humor in their own toothaches. But there has never lived a man so philosophical that he could see the toothache in his own humor.”

“It is Love that will save our world and our civilization.”

“Revolution is the larva of civilization.”

“I think really, China, Chinese, I think they really have a long history of civilization, rich culture.”

“Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.”

“We have an idea of truth, invincible to all scepticism.”

“If it's the Psychic Network why do they need a phone number?”
