Mark Twain upon being introduced by some guy:

"The house, very much against his will, forced him to ascend the platform and introduce me. He stood thinking a moment and then said:

'I don't know anything about this man. At least I know only two things: one is, he hasn't been in the penitentiary, and the other is (after a pause, and almost sadly), I don't know why.'”

True?  

How simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roasted chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea . . . . All that is required to feel that here and now happiness is a simple, frugal heart.
