More quotes by Mark Twain

"Familiarity breeds contempt and children."
"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."
"A clear conscience is the sure sign of a bad memory."
"I did not attend his funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it."
"When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain."
