Mark Twain
1626 citations

If you invent two or three people and turn them loose in your manuscript, something is bound to happen to them -- you can't help it; and then it will take you the rest of the book to get them out of the natural consequences of that occurrence, and so first thing you know, there's your book all finished up and never cost you an idea. ✨ Mark Twain (1966). Mark Twain's Satires and Burlesques, p.1, Univ of California Press
