"Time is a great legalizer, even in..." - Quote by H L Mencken

“I have long been convinced that the idea of liberty is abhorrent to most human beings. What they want is security, not freedom. Thus it seldom causes any public indignation when an enterprising tyrant claps down on one of his enemies. To most men it seems a natural proceeding.”

“Men have a much better time of it than women. For one thing, they marry later; for another thing, they die earlier.”

“Such is the art of writing as Dreiser understands it and practices it--an endless piling up of minutiae, an almost ferocious tracking down of ions, electrons and molecules, an unshakable determination to tell it all. One is amazed by the mole-like diligence of the man, and no less by his exasperating disregard for the ease of his readers.”

“The truest lengthening of life is to live while we live, wasting no time but using every hour for the highest ends. So be it this day.”

“We don't get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? So this is what we've chosen to do with our life.”

“It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone... but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.”

“Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.”

“The confusing of marriage with morality has done more to destroy the conscience of the human race than any other single error.”

“Law never made men a whit more just.”
