Mark Twain

Mark Twain: a life. Powers, Ron. New York: Free Press.


Started reading this biography yesterday, and am finding it wonderful. Powers writes with a grand style. A few things have caught my eye, and I am duly keeping notes.

This quote I liked: "An Englishman is a person who does things because they have been done before. An American is a person who does things because they haven't been done before."
