Mark Twain
Optimist: day dreamer more elegantly spelled.
Mark Twain
I have never examined the subject of humor until now. I am surprised to find how much ground it covers. I have got its divisions and frontiers down on a piece of paper. I find it defined as a production of the brain, as the power of the brain to produce something humorous, and the capacity of percieving humor.
Mark Twain
The report of my death was an exaggeration.
Mark Twain
The worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with yourself.
