Henry Louis Mencken:
(September 12, 1880 – January 29, 1956).
American journalist, essayist, satirist, cultural critic, and scholar of American English. He commented widely on the social scene, literature, music, prominent politicians, and contemporary movements. His satirical reporting on the Scopes Trial, which he dubbed the “Monkey Trial”, also gained him attention. The term Menckenian has entered multiple dictionaries to describe anything of or pertaining to Mencken, including his combative rhetorical and prose style.
A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married.
The urge to save humanity is almost always false-face for the urge to rule it.
MORALITY: Doing what is right regardless of what you are told. OBEDIENCE: Doing what you are told regardless of that is right.
