Produced by David Widger
THE WRITINGS OF WILLIAM DEAN HOWELLS
Absolutely, so positively, so almost
aggressively truthful
Account of one's reading is an account of
one's life
Affections will not be bidden
Beginning to grow old with touching courage
Book that they are content to know at
second hand
Christianity had done nothing to improve morals
and conditions
Clemens was sole, incomparable, the Lincoln of
our literature
Comfort from the thought that most things cannot
be helped
Contemptible he found our pseudo-equality
Critical vanity and self-righteousness
Critics are in no sense the legislators of
literature
Despair broke in laughter
Dickens rescued Christmas from Puritan distrust
Didn't reason about their beliefs, but
only argued
Disbeliever in punishments of all sorts
Even a day's rest is more than most people
can bear
Everlasting rock of human credulity and folly
Exchanging inaudible banalities
Fear of asking too much and the folly of asking
too little
For most people choice is a curse
Forbear the excesses of analysis
Gift of waiting for things to happen
Got out of it all the fun there was in it
Government is best which governs least
Habit of saying some friendly
