Mencken-isms
I should be done with My Life as Author and Editor shortly, but in the meantime... here are a few gems from the man himself that made me smirk (and there may have been some cackling involved). Enjoy! A church is a place in which gentlemen who have never been to heaven brag about it to persons who will never get there.
A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin.
A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazi
More Mencken, please!
And now... we get to learn about the man behind the cutting words and biting wit.
Drive to Baltimore, chomp on a cigar and begin to read My Life as Author and Editor by H.L. Mencken #hlmencken #mylifeasauthorandeditor
