H. L. Mencken Love is the delusion that one woman differs from another. H. L. Mencken Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. H. L. Mencken Man is a beautiful machine that works very badly. H. L. Mencken Man is always looking for someone to boast to; woman is always looking for a shoulder to put her head on. H. L. Mencken Man weeps to think that he will die so soon; woman, that she was born so long ago. H. L. Mencken Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who would want to live in an institution? H. L. Mencken Men have a much better time of it than women. For one thing, they marry later; for another thing, they die earlier. H. L. Mencken Morality is the theory that every human act must be either right or wrong, and that 99 % of them are wrong. H. L. Mencken Most people are unable to write because they are unable to think, and they are unable to think because they congenitally lack the equipment to do so, just as they congenitally lack the equipment to fly over the moon. H. L. Mencken Most people want security in this world, not liberty. H. L. Mencken Nevertheless, it is even harder for the average ape to believe that he has descended from man. H. L. Mencken Nine times out of ten, in the arts as in life, there is actually no truth to be discovered; there is only error to be exposed. H. L. Mencken No man ever quite believes in any other man. One may believe in an idea absolutely, but not in a man. H. L. Mencken No married man is genuinely happy if he has to drink worse whisky than he used to drink when he was single. H. L. Mencken No matter how happily a woman may be married, it always pleases her to discover that there is a nice man who wishes that she were not. H. L. Mencken No matter how long he lives, no man ever becomes as wise as the average woman of forty-eight. H. L. Mencken No one in this world has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby. H. L. Mencken Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public. H. L. Mencken One may no more live in the world without picking up the moral prejudices of the world than one will be able to go to hell without perspiring. H. L. Mencken |
