Bret Harte Quotes:

Ocupation: Author

Life: August 25, 1836 - May 6, 1902

Birthday: August 25

Death: May 6

Besides writing, I have been teaching myself to 'develop' my own photographic plates, and I haven't a stick of clothing or an exposed finger that isn't stained. I sit for hours in a dark-room feeling as if I were a very elderly Faust at some dreadful incantation, and come out of it, blinding at the light, like a Bastille prisoner. And yet I am not successful!
