A person at my school looked to me for help as an "expert," but I can't find the exact quotation she wants--and I don't want to just paraphrase it badly, since every word counts. Can someone help me? (And send to me, not her--I don't want to blow my alleged reputation at my school.) This made me realize I need one of those Twain quotation books. Seems to me there are a couple of recent ones--can someone refresh my failing memory?
