"The secret source of humor is not..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“If ever you've been down in the dumps, hear these iconic authors share with you more than their writing wisdom.”

“I saw a startling sight today, a politician with his hands in his own pockets.”

“A good and wholesome thing is a little harmless fun in this world; it tones a body up and keeps him human and prevents him from souring.”

“Is boneless chicken considered to be an invertebrate?”

“I want no criticism of America at my table. The Americans criticize themselves more than enough.”

“I asked people who have already finished books for advice, which is akin to asking a mother with a four-year-old what childbirth is like.”

“Humor, however broad and genial, takes a narrower view than enthusiasm.”

“Emotions of any kind are produced by melody and rhythm; therefore by music a man becomes accustomed to feeling the right emotions; music has thus the power to form character, and the various kinds of music based on various modes may be distinguished by their effects on character.”

“We would never move forward in the face of negative emotion. There are many people who would teach you otherwise. They say, you've got to face fear to get over it. And all they do is desensitize themselves to the point that they get themselves into situations where they have no idea what's going on, and the end of them comes rather abruptly... And then everyone calls them brave.”
