ON: IMAGINATION

OSCAR WILDE Observes:

It has been said that imagination is of greater value than knowledge.  I wonder how anyone came to such a conclusion. 

MARK TWAIN Remarks:

I can't imagine... and I don't know.    

ON: ART/WRITING

OSCAR WILDE Observes:

Revolutions in are are not objections against conventions, but rather against truths that restrict conventions.     

MARK TWAIN Remarks:

Creative and effective writing need not be limited by sterile facts; neither do explanations to the wife.       

ON: TOLERANCE

OSCAR WILDE Observes:

Tolerance is the virtue of the helpless---a necessary virtue.    

MARK TWAIN Remarks:

Tolerance may, or may not, be the same as indifference, but I really do not care.
