War, Love, & Logic

_____________________________________________________________________________________


Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce (1842-1914??)
War is God's way of teaching
Americans geography.



Love is a temporary insanity
curable by marriage.


 Logic is the art of thinking
and reasoning in strict accordance
with the limitations and incapacities
of the human misunderstanding.


Like Dawn Powell, the very quotable 
Ambrose Bierce is best left unfamous.
That way, he becomes an artist worth 
stealing from without getting caught.



The next Bierce page is here.

    Twain's twin separated at birth.
    True observations bathed in mirth.
