Subject:Help ID a quote... From:Sally Yeo <SYeo -at- ELUCIDEX -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 26 May 1999 13:58:45 -0700
I need to find a quote, and identify it. I have read it numerous times,

I think it is by Mark Twain and it says something to the effect that he
would write a shorter story (or whatever) if he had more time-pointing
out it is harder and takes more time to write concisely.
