More quotes by Mark Twain

"I haven't any right to criticize books, and I don't do it except when I hate them. I often want to criticize Jane Austen, but her books madden me so that I can't conceal my frenzy from the reader; and therefore I have to stop every time I begin. Every time I read Pride and Prejudice I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone."
"When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained."
"Humor is mankind's greatest blessing."
"What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself."
"All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure."
