Mark Twain Quotes

Geniuses Are People Who Dash Off Weird, Wild, Incomprehensible Poems With Astonishing Facility, & Then Go & Get Booming Drunk & Sleep In The Gutter. Genius Elevates A Man To Ineffable Speres [sic] Far Above The Vulgar World, & Fills His Soul With A Regal Contempt For The Gross & Sordid Things Of Earth. It Is Probably On Account Of This That People Who Have Genius Do Not Pay Their Board, As A General Thing.
