Huckleberry Finn

"I reckon I got to light out for the Territory ahead of the rest, because Aunt Sally she's going to adopt me and sivilize me, and I can't stand it."

"All right, then, I'll go to hell."

"It was a close call, and I was awful glad to get away from there."

"There warn't anything to do, now, but to look out sharp for the town, and not pass it without seeing it."

"The widow Douglas she took me for her son, and allowed she would sivilize me."

"I felt so ornery and cheap, I says to myself, my mind ain't right."

"If I had a yaller dog that didn't know no more than a person's conscience does, I would pison him."

"There was things which he stretched, but mainly he told the truth."

"It's lovely to live on a raft."

"I was powerful glad to get away from the feuds, and so was Jim."

"We said there warn't no home like a raft, after all."

"Persons is always doing it wrong."

"I never felt easy till the raft was far away down the river."

"The stars was shining, and the leaves rustled in the wind ever so slight."

"I reckon a body that ups and tells the truth when he is in a tight place, is taking considerable many resks."

"I couldn't seem to strike no places to harden on to."

"Sometimes I wished I was dead."

"It was a monstrous big river down there."

"We catched fish, and talked, and had a mighty good time."

"I was most ready to cry; I was so mad and so miserable."

"You can't pray a lie."

"The more I studied about this, the more my conscience went to grinding me."

"It was a beautiful piece of moonlight."

"I couldn't ever feel bad till after, and then I would."

"Being civilized is too restrictive for an active mind."

"I don't take no stock in dead people."

"I reckoned I would hide in the woods and starve."

"A body could take his time and use judgment about it."

"I didn't want to talk much."

"The woods was thick, and I couldn't see very far."
