Substitute 'damn' every time you're inclined to write 'very;... - Mark Twain

"The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time."

"A successful book is not made of what is in it, but what is left out of it."

"Books are for people who wish they were somewhere else."

"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; then success is sure."
