Entry #208 in the Dictionary of Imaginary Quotations


“Politics is a way to replace mob rule by the strong with mob rule by an elite. It is not a way to eliminate cruelty.”

Bert E. Mattike
Classical historian (1887–1951)

Riddle me this: the name “Bert E. Mattike” is an anagram. Can you unscramble it? • The solution to last week’s quotee anagram is: “Naked ape.”

Father, husband, friend, and writer by day; mostly asleep by night. Happily pondering the immortality of the crab.
