Thanks to Mark Twain for the quote

'Twas Twain.

 

[tarric]

Nah Mark Twain or should that be Samuel Langhorne Clemens.

I knew I shouldn't have type such a long reply.

 

[Garry Edwards]

You're right, sorry. I could have sworn it was Oscar Wilde, should have checked.

It was Wilde who apparently declared his Genius upon arrival in the states

At a London party in 1883, Oscar Wilde was complimenting one of the guests on a singularly pithy and well-turned remark.

"How I wish I'd said that!" the great Irish wit exclaimed. To which the painter James MacNeil Whistler was heard to murmur, "You will, Oscar, you will."
