April 7, 1933 - HL Mencken's Favorite Day

He could hoist a schooner of beer then at the end of Prohibition. "In human history a moral victory is always a disaster, for it debauches and degrades both the victor and the vanquished." The Calamity of Appomattox, September 1930

Quarrel

I had a lover's quarrel with the world. -Robert Frost, poet (1874-1963)

Mencken didn't say this, but I like the quote.
