Quote by Mark Twain

There are times when one would like to hang the whole human race, and finish the farce.

There are times when one would like to hang the whole human

Summary

This quote reflects a momentary feeling of frustration and disillusionment with the human race. It captures the sensation of being overwhelmed by the flaws, shortcomings, and perceived absurdity of humanity's thoughts and actions. It implies a desire to give up on this "farce" and rid oneself of the disappointment and anger caused by the actions of others. Nonetheless, it should be acknowledged as a fleeting emotion, born out of passion and frustration rather than a practical solution to the flaws of humanity.

There is only beauty -- and it has only one perfect expression -- poetry. All the rest is a lie --except for those who live by the body, love, and, that love of the mind, friendship. For me, Poetry takes the place of love, because it is enamored of itself, and because its sensual delight falls back deliciously in my soul.
