   “OPTIMISM, n. The doctrine, or belief, that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly, everything good, especially the bad, and everything right that is wrong. It is held with greatest tenacity by those most accustomed to the mischance of falling into adversity, and is most acceptably expounded with the grin that apes a smile. Being a blind faith, it is inaccessible to the light of disproof --an intellectual disorder, yielding to no treatment but death. It is hereditary, but fortunately not contagious.” |  Ambrose Bierce quotes (American Writer, Journalist and Editor, 1842-1914)

 “We now demand the light artillery of the intellect; we need the curt, the condensed, the pointed, the readily diffused / in place of the verbose, the detailed, the voluminous, the inaccessible. On the other hand, the lightness of the artillery should not degenerate into pop-gunnery / by which term we may designate the character of the greater portion of the newspaper press / their sole legitimate object being the discussion of ephemeral matters in an ephemeral manner.” |  Edgar Allan Poe quotes (American short-story Writer, Editor, Poet and Critic, 1809-1849)
