Henry Louis Mencken Quotes Imagine the Creator as a low comedian, and at once the world becomes explicable. Creator: a comedian whose audience is afraid to laugh. Demagogue: one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots. Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere may be happy. The only really happy folk are married women and single men. A good [politician] is quite as unthinkable as an honest burglar. There is only one honest impulse at the bottom of Puritanism, and that is the impulse to punish the man with a superior capacity for happiness. All zoos actually offer the public, in return for the taxes spent upon them, is a form of idle witless amusment, compared to which a visit to the state penitentiary, or even a state legislature in session, is informing, stimulating and enobling. Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody is looking. A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin. The most common of all follies is to believe passionately in the palpably not true. It is the chief occupation of mankind. Don't overestimate the decency of the human race.

Last Words H. L. Mencken MENCKEN ON POLITICS, POLITICIANS, DEMOCRACY, ELECTIONS AND VOTERS.... mostly he had little use for these entities Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to ruleand both commonly succeed, and are right... The United States has never developed an aristocracy really disinterested or an intelligentsia really intelligent. Its history is simply a record of vacillations between two gangs of frauds. The theory behind representative government is that superior menor at all events, men not inferior to the average in ability and integrityare chosen to manage the public business, and that they carry on this work with reasonable intelligence and honesty. There is little support for that theory in the known facts... The typical lawmaker of today is a man devoid of principlea mere counter in a grotesque and knavish game. If the right pressure could be applied to him he would be cheerfully in favor of polygamy, astrology, or cannibalism.

The Declaration of Independence in American by H. L. Mencken (From THE AMERICAN LANGUAGE, THIRD EDITION, 1923, pp. 398-402. First printed as "Essay in American" in the Baltimore Evening Sun, Nov. 7, 1921.) WHEN things get so balled up that the people of a country got to cut loose from some other country, and go it on their own hook, without asking no permission from nobody, excepting maybe God Almighty, then they ought to let everybody know why they done it, so that everybody can see they are not trying to put nothing over on nobody. He vetoed bills in the Legislature that everybody was in favor of, and hardly nobody was against. He wouldn't allow no law to be passed without it was first put up to him, and then he stuck it in his pocket and let on he forgot about it, and didn't pay no attention to no kicks. When people went to work and gone to him and asked him to put through a law about this or that, he give them their choice: either they had to shut down the Legislature and let him pass it all by himself, or they couldn't have it at all.

Unquestionably, there is progress. The average American now pays out twice as much in taxes as he formerly got in wages. For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong. Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn't they'd be married too. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant. Science, at bottom, is really anti-intellectual. It always distrusts pure reason, and demands the production of objective fact. For every problem there is a solution which is simple, clean and wrong. The difference between a moral man and a man of honor is that the latter regrets a discreditable act, even when it has worked and he has not been caught. Any man who afflicts the human race with ideas must be prepared to see them misunderstood.

QUOTATIONS by Topic by Author by User TOP 10 Quotations Topics Authors OTHER Subscriptions Advertising About Us Contact Us Henry Louis Mencken American humorous journalist, and critic who influenced US fiction through the 1920s, 1880-1956 Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard. The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truththat the error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it is cured on one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one. The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated. Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking.

Henry Louis Mencken, in Amerika geschätzt und etabliert, ist im deutschen Sprachraum so gut wie unbekannt. Mit ihm harrt ein Essayist und Kritiker seiner Entdeckung, der in den zwanziger Jahren in den Vereinigten Staaten eine ähnliche Rolle gespielt hat wie Kurt Tucholsky in Deutschland. Was er zu sagen hatte, formulierte er unmissverständlich, elegant und klar. Für eine zündende Übertreibung opferte er bedenkenlos Abwägungen und Nuancen. Seine Urteile, von klärender, oft verletzender Einseitigkeit, klangen unrevidierbar endgültig. Übersichtlich konstruiert, rhetorisch schwungvoll, alle Fairness in den Wind schlagend, erfüllten seine Essays und Rezensionen eine Grundbedingung jeder Kritik: Sie überbrückten die Kluft zwischen Autor und Leser und brachten das Publikum mit neuen Gedanken in Berührung.

32. Henry Louis Mencken Once Wrote henry louis mencken’s views of womens’ roles in society contrasteddeeply with those mores. mencken, henry louis. In Defense fo Women. http://www.msu.edu/course/mc/112/1920s/Mencken/women.html

Henry Louis Mencken once wrote "A man’s women folk, whatever their outward show of respect for his merit and authority, always regard him secretly as an ass, and with something akin to pity" (1). While Mencken’s blunt declaration provides shock-value humor, it is also a serious and profound statement that reflects his intellectual deviation from the gender stereotypes of his time. Mencken’s ideas about the societal roles of women differed greatly from those of traditional, conservative, Victorian Americans in the nineteen twenties. In fact, he frequently criticized this genre of Americans, whom he labeled the "booboise", for their "provincialism of attitude in manners, morals, politics, and taste" (Martin 67). In order to compare Mencken’s view with that of the "booboise", however, traditional ideas about gender roles must first be explored. Women in the 1920’s were placed in a socially subordinate position relative to their male counterparts. This was influenced directly by the preceding Victorian era, in which women were expected to be subservient to men in nearly all walks of life. But, even with the "New Woman" of the modern era and notions of female empowerment, the advertising industry still did much to perpetuate ideas of the woman as a domestic servant (Horn 104). Thus, women in the twenties were viewed as domestic creatures, second class citizens, and emotional beings. The advertisement pages of any "Ladies Home Journal" or "Vanity Fair" from the roaring twenties can testify that women were viewed in this time as the administrators of domestic life. Though the flood of new consumer products promised to "empower" women by offering the right to choose, the twenties paradoxically imprisoned them by further entrenching the connection between women and the private, domestic world. This necessarily precluded women from participating in the public arenas of politics, government, and business on the same level as men.

H.L. Mencken: Two of his Theories Henry Louis Mencken was born on September 12, 1880. He was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. His father owned a Cigar factory. H.L seemed destined to follow in his fathers footsteps. After studying at the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute he worked for his father in the cigar Factory until 1899. This would not be Mencken's lasting contribution to society. In 1899 he began writng for several local, Boston area, newspapers. Two of the more prestigious papers that he worked for were the Baltimore Herald Tribune and Baltimore Sun . He worked as a newspaper writer for most of the 1910's. His career as a newspaper man quickly launched him into the literary world as both a freelance writer and an editor of his own journal, The American Mercury. The scope of Mencken's writings was extremely broad. He satirized the American south after the Scopes Monkey trial, criticized American democracy, joked about Prohibition, challenged the place of women in society, and advocated free speech. He was known throughout his life as an general critic and commentator on American society. Mencken's appeal was in his the shock value of his opinions. Though he was a serious writer, he spoke with a true voice of sarcasm. This made him very difficult to interpret. Mencken wrote very much for himself, rather than for the public. His political ideas often contradicted one another. Above all, Mencken was a sort of entertainer of his generation. Especially during the explosive decade that was the roaring twenties, his outlandish ideas and extreme political views posited an intellectual challenge to the stringent "Victorian" way of life that governed the lives of so many Americans.

He began his journalistic career on the Baltimore Morning Herald, became editor of the Baltimore Evening Herald, and from 1906 until his death was on the staff of the Baltimore Sun or Evening Sun. From 1914 to 1923 he was coeditor of the Smart Set with George Jean Nathan; together they started the American Mercury in 1924, and Mencken was the sole editor from 1925 to 1933. His pungent and iconoclastic criticism, although aimed at all complacent attitudes, was chiefly directed at the middle class. These essays have been collected in a series of six volumes, Prejudices (1919-27). In the field of philology he compiled a monumental and lively study, The American Language (1st ed. 1919; 4th ed. 1936; with supplements, 1946, 1948).
