"Imagination labors best in distant fields...." - Quote by Mark Twain

“It is a good idea to obey all the rules when you're young just so you'll have the strength to break them when you're old.”

“I said nothing of the sort.”

“And so when I couldn't stand it no longer, I lit out. I got into my old rags and my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied.”

“I write about, more or less, everything I can think of, that is I stretch my imagination as far as it'll go. I am kind of stuck in the middle as far as my life goes, and hence my imagination tends to zero in on things which are indeed in the middle. That is, I don't write about the very rich, who I scarcely know, or the very poor who I don't know very well either.”

“One must be an inventor to read well.”

“Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.”

“Vince McMahon is one of the greatest storytellers of all time, but WWE's not striving for the kind of innovation it's capable of.”

“I think self-expression is present at all times, and whether or not you're talking about the outside world or your responses to it depends on the moment and the subject.”

“I put things down on sheets of paper and stuff them in my pockets. When I have enough, I have a book.”
