• My Favorite Murder

  Having murdered my mother under circumstances of
  singular atrocity, I was arrested and put upon my trial,
  which lasted seven years. In summing up, the judge of
  the Court of Acquittal remarked that it was of the most
  ghastly crimes that he had ever been called upon to explain
  away.

  par Ambrose Bierce
• Our War With Mexico

  Shortly before his departure for Europe and his death
  among the victims of the Lusitania, I asked Mr. Elbert
  Hubbard to write me a short note on the possibilities of
  political complications and a war of the United States
  with Mexico.

  par Elbert Hubbard
• The Art of Will Rothenstein

  There have been few finer periods in British art than the closing of last century.

• The Leper

  After being a few hours on the trains, one becomes
  accustomed to the fellow passengers; their incessant
  talking—their coming and going. These things cease to
  make any impression upon senses fatigued by the confusion
  and too rapid change. One withdraws so far into one's
  self that consciousness of all surroundings is deadened.
  And so it was with the leper as, staring absently out of the
  car window, he watched the trees, the hills, the fences
  pass in endless glissando.

  par Jr. , Charles Gorham Barney
• We Fear no Hell After Travelling awhile on Earth

  Recently, in Hell, Satan was approached by his
  Prime Minister, who humbly craved an audience of
  the Spirit of Evil. The wings of Satan were many
  millions of miles long and glowed with the radiance of
  burning charcoal.
