Vladimir Nabokov

When you're not being able to do much there's always technology to make you have a dialogue with your many florals, which I did yesterday. Many quotes spring to mind, but I chose this one.

Happy Caturday!
Hate to post and run, but I will be gone all day Saturday, so I will comment late.
I read several Twain novels when I was a teen, but I became a fan when I read his social commentary in college.
So many quotations are attributed to Twain that are things he never said nor wrote. I made sure mine were all genuine Twainisms. They can be found with many others, researched by Twain Scholar Barbara Schmidt at: www.twainquotes.com/quotesatoz.html
One of my favorite quotes, not in the image above:
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
