"To be wrong, and to be carefully wrong, that is the definition of decadence."

It is the final sign of imbecility in a people that it calls cats dogs and describes the sun as the moon—and is very particular about the preciseness of these pseudonyms. To be wrong, and to be carefully wrong, that is the definition of decadence.

-A Miscellany of Men (1912)
