Monsieur, you have insulted me for the last time. Pistols and croissants at dawn1 bitch.
“I thoroughly disapprove of duels. I consider them unwise and I know they are dangerous. Also, sinful. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet retired spot and kill him.”
– mark twain
– mark twain
