"We must put up with our clothes..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“It's so damned humiliating.”

“Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.”

“Whatever a man's age, he can reduce it several years by putting a bright-colored flower in his button-hole.”

“It's illegal to be naked.”

“Vain trifles as they seem, clothes have, they say, more important offices than to merely keep us warm. They change our view of the world and the world's view of us.”

“Some civilized women would lose half their charm without dress and some would lose all of it.”

“I don't look like no kiwi bird”

“Many of the cemeteries are beautiful, and are kept in perfect order. When one goes from the levee or the business streets [of New Orleans] to it, to a cemetery, he observes to himself that if those people down there would live as neatly while they are alive as they do after they are dead, they would find many advantages in it; and besides, their quarter would be the wonder and admiration of the business world.”

“Of this she was perfectly unaware; to her he was only the man who had made himself agreeable nowhere, and who had not thought her handsome enough to dance with.”
