He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.”
― H.L. Mencken
Mencken was a very interesting character; one thing for sure, he was down on women in general and marriage in particular. I don't think lizzie would appreciate his wit either.
Irrelevant fact: Mencken and I graduated from the same high school.
