H.l. MenckenIf, after I depart this vale, you ever remember me and have thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner and wink your eye at some homely girl.
About This Quote
The world is full of people who are stuck in their ways. They never change and always act the same way. They are so rigid that they can’t even see another person’s point of view. The only thing they see is themselves, and how wrong they are. They think everyone else is wrong so they don’t even bother to listen to anyone else.
The only thing they hear is what agrees with them, and they ignore everything that doesn’t agree with them. They only talk about themselves and their little group. If you were to meet one of these people, you would want to shake them until their tiny little minds expand into the big wide world around them.
The wisest thing you could do would be to forgive someone who has done something wrong for them in the past (the sinner). You would also want to wink at a homely girl (the homely girl). If you could do this in life, it would make your life easier when you die.
