"Men make the mistake of thinking that because women can't see the sense in violence, they must be passive creatures. It's just not true. In one important way, at least, men are the passive sex.

On the other hand, what women want is stability, which when you stop to think about it is a very different animal."	Eric Lustbader

Almost invariably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And if he is not romantic personally, he is apt to spread discontent among those who are."	Henry Louis Mencken
"A sound American is simply one who has put out of his mind all doubts and questionings, and who accepts instantly, and as incontrovertible gospel, the whole body of official doctrine of his day, whatever it may be and no matter how often it may change. The instant he challenges it, no matter how timorously and academically, he ceases by that much to be a loyal and creditable citizen of the republic."	Henry Louis Mencken
"Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats."	Henry Louis Mencken
