Stephen Leacock
“I detest life-insurance agents: they always argue that I shall some day die, which is not so.”
Stephen Leacock

H.L. Mencken
“He writes the worst English that I have ever encountered. It reminds me of a string of wet sponges; it reminds me of tattered washing on the line; it reminds me of stale bean soup, of college yells, of dogs barking idiotically through endless nights. It is so bad that a sort of grandeur creeps into it. It drags itself out of the dark abysm of pish, and crawls insanely up the topmost pinnacle of posh. It is rumble and bumble. It is flap and doodle. It is balder and dash.
(writing about US President Warren G. Harding)
H.L. Mencken

Saki
“The cook was a good cook, as cooks go; and as cooks go, she went.”
Saki, The Complete Saki
