Quotation of the Day for May 16, 2011



"Keep in mind what I told you -- when you recollect something which belonged in an earlier chapter, do not go back, but jam it in where you are. Discursiveness does not hurt an autobiography in the least."

- Mark Twain, in a May 6, 1880 letter to his brother Orion Clemens, commenting on a draft of Orion's autobiography.
