H.L. Mencken Quotes
We Must Think Of Human Progress, Not As Of Something Going On In The Race In General, But As Of Something Going On In A Small Minority, Perpetually Beleaguered In A Few Walled Towns. Now And Then The Horde Of Barbarians Outside Breaks Through, And We Have An Armed Effort To Halt The Process. That Is, We Have A Reformation, A French Revolution, A War For Democracy, A Great Awakening. The Minority Is Decimated And Driven To Cover. But A Few Survive - And A Few Are Enough To Carry On.
