H. L. Mencken. “For every problem, there is a solution that is simple, elegant, and wrong.”
Not too be too pedantic but this is the full, accurate quote from Prejudices: Second Series, “Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem—neat, plausible, and wrong.”
Dude! I’ve been using that for years, never thought I had the quote wrong! Thank you!
Gotta ask - which book is your favorite? Love the Chrestromathy and the books he wrote about his youth.
Oscar Wilde.
I mean with a surname like Wilde he was destined to be a wild one.
Dorothy Parker.
Dorothy Parker would have drunk tweeted from dinner parties savagely taking down all the other guests.
I would religiously follow Dorothy Parker
