The old man...

Busy sorting books today - bookshelf, charity shop or landfill - and came across a bookmark in Cassell’s Humorous Quotations. The book opened at one of my favourite quotes from Mark Twain… “When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years”. That’s just wonderful, on so many levels. The book is in my bookcase, with the bookmark intact.
