When a candidate for public office faces the voters he does not face men of sense; he faces a mob of men whose chief distinguishing mark is the fact that they are quite incapable of weighing ideas, or even of comprehending any save the most elemental — men whose whole thinking is done in terms of emotion, and whose dominant emotion is dread of what they cannot understand. So confronted, the candidate must either bark with the pack or be lost... All the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum.
-H. L. Mencken

[edit] Pages I Watch
Wikiquote:Limits on quotations
I volunteered to trim these pages down as part of the Wikiquote Copyright Cleanup Project. I now watch them to be prevent them becoming oversized again. For some purposes it's easier for me to have them here than to use only my watchlist, so feel free to ignore this. I mean, you are free to ignore any of this, I hope, but you are even freer here. Or something.
[edit] Things I Want to Do
- Lars and the Real Girl
- The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
- Cleanup The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) - Wikiquote:Templates/Theatre, User:Sketchmoose/Sandbox
- Fresh quotes (current aren't great), published script or taped performance?, which formatting template to follow?
