When grown-up persons indulge in practical
jokes, the fact gauges them. They have lived narrow, obscure, and ignorant
lives, and at full manhood they still retain and cherish a job-lot of left-over
standards and ideals that would have been discarded with their boyhood if
they had then moved out into the world and a broader life. - Autobiography of Mark Twain, Vol. 2 (2013) |
