“A person who won’t read has no advantage over one who can’t read.”
“Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.”
Mark Twain
Another dead guy who’s dry wit I rather enjoyed.

I like both quotes. I think the second one applies to forgiveness too. Forgiveness if more for the person doing the forgiving that the one being forgiven. It’s getting that acid out of you.

I love Mark Twain, but always wished he was more woman-friendly. ;(

I like a lot of his quotes. He got very cranky/cynical/darker as he aged. His last couple short stories were very depressing.

There’s one by him about how women should be the ones to have harems, since men–sexually–don’t really need several women to be satisfied, but women, on the other hand, can be satisfied several times a session, lol.
I love Twain. He did get dark and bitter there at the end. Much of his heart died with his wife and once she was gone, the end became a tragedy. Very sad that his humor was a cassualty of his pain.

I love these quotes. I think that I can appreciate (even if I don’t agree with) Mark Twain now as I head into my mature phase of life.

Love Mark Twain’s review of James Fenimore Cooper’s The Deerslayer. Let the people who complain of mean girl reviewers try to top that from a romance blog.
