Barb---My vote is for the "greeting card company" alternative.  The quotation seems much better suited to Hallmark than to Twain.  --Jim L.

The "explore, dream, discover" quote has been around since the
late 1990s.  I attempted to locate the source first for Courtney Love
and later _The New Yorker_ magazine in the 1990s.  (See the
Forum archives for March 1998.)  The quote remains in the
"attributed" category for the time being.  Evidence indicates
it originated with a greeting card company.
