“Grammar, n. A system of pitfalls thoughtfully prepared for the feet of the self-made man, along the path by which he advances to distinction.”
― Ambrose Bierce, The Unabridged Devil's Dictionary

“I dont believe in the Devil, but if I did I should think of him as the trainer who drives Heaven to break its own records.”

“PLATITUDE, n. The fundamental element and special glory of popular literature. A thought that snores in words that smoke. The wisdom of a million fools in the diction of a dullard. A fossil sentiment in artificial rock. A moral without the fable. All that is mortal of a departed truth. A demi-tasse of milk-and-mortality. The Pope's-nose of a featherless peacock. A jelly-fish withering on the shore of the sea of thought. The cackle surviving the egg. A desiccated epigram.”
― Ambrose Bierce, The Unabridged Devil's Dictionary
