Mark Twain
Quotes

Here I thought, they take a couple of hopeful hearts in the rough, and work them up, with spices and shortening and sweetening enough to last for lifetime, and turn them out well kneaded together, baked to a turn, and ready for a matrimony and without having been obliged to undergo a long and harrowing courtship, with the desperate changes attendant thereon, of persevering rivals, unwilling parents, inevitable love-quarrels, and all that sort of thing.
