‘Why is this thus? What is the reason of this thusness?’
Charles Farrar Browne Quotes
Traters...are a unfortunate class of people. If they wasn’t they wouldn’t be traters. They conspire to bust up a country - they fail, and they’re traters. They bust her, and they become statesmen and heroes.

About
Browne was born in Waterford, Maine. He began life as a compositor and occasional contributor to the daily and weekly journals. In 1858, he published in The Plain Dealer the first of the "Artemus Ward" series, which, in a collected form, achieved great popularity in both America and England. In 1860, he became editor of Vanity Fair, a humorous New York weekly, which proved a failure. About the same time, he began to appear as a lecturer and, by his droll and eccentric humor, attracted large audiences.
