Every such wet-nurse of letters has sought fatuously to make me write in a way differing from that in which the Lord God Almighty, in His infinite wisdom, impels me to write — that is, to make me write stuff which, coming from me, would be as false as an appearance of decency in a Congressman.I do not object to being denounced, but I can't abide being schoolmastered, especially by men I regard as imbeciles.
H. L. Mencken
