Famous quotes containing the word twain:

    All I say is, kings is kings, and you got to make allowances. Take them all around, they’re a mighty ornery lot. It’s the way they’re raised.
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Civilization is a limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessaries.
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
