"There is no character, howsoever good and fine, but it can be
destroyed by ridicule, howsoever poor and witless. Observe the
ass, for instance: his character is about perfect, he is the
choicest spirit among all the humbler animals, yet see what
ridicule has brought him to. Instead of feeling complimented
when we are called an ass, we are left in doubt." -Twain
Quote-Of-Note is an occasional chunk of brain candy to sweeten this exurban nation.
