Mark Twain
1626 citations

When you want genuine music -- music that will come right home to you like a bad quarter, suffuse your system like strychnine whisky, go right through you like Brandreth's pills, ramify your whole constitution like the measles, and break out on your hide like the pin-feather pimples on a picked goose, -- when you want all this, just smash your piano, and invoke the glory-beaming banjo! ✨ Mark Twain (1979). Early Tales and Sketches 1864-1869, p.235, Univ of California Press
