"The reports of my death have been..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“Tis Better to Sit there and LOOK the fool, than to open your mouth and prove it.”

“If you can't stand solitude, perhaps others find you boring as well.”

“[Do you worry unnecessarily about the future? Remember most fears are just False Evidence Appearing Real. Don't let unfounded fears rob you of the joys of life or you too will say...] There has been much tragedy in my life; [and] at least half of it actually happened.”

“You were the dead; theirs was the future.”

“Once one's up against it, the precise manner of one's death has obviously small importance.”

“Too strong a media emphasis on death and violence can lead to despair.”

“It has been reported that I was seriously ill--it was another man; dying--it was another man; dead--the other man again...As far as I can see, nothing remains to be reported, except that I have become a foreigner. When you hear it, don't you believe it. And don't take the trouble to deny it. Merely just raise the American flag on our house in Hartford and let it talk.”

“The report of my illness grew out of his (James Clemens) illness. The report of my death was an exaggeration.”

“Those who feed on rumors are small, suspicious souls.”
