My favorite literary figure is Mark Twain. He's noted not only for his amazing novels and short stories, but also for his witticisms. I just thought I'd share a few of my favorite anecdotes of his and then ask what your favorite quotes are.
These are all Mark Twain:
"Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint."
"Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education."
"Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it."
"I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it."
After having been wrongly announced dead in the New York Journal, Mark Twain wrote in response: "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated."
