"I believe it is possible to tell what sign some people were born under by watching their eyes, watching how they walk, how they talk."

Previous Quote

A man who is not born with the novel-writing gift has a troublesome time of it when he tries to build a novel. I know this from experience. He has no clear idea of his story; in fact he has no story. He merely has some people in his mind, and an incident or two, also a locality, and he trusts he can plunge those people into those incidents with interesting results.

— Mark Twain
