"Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live." is from Mark Twain's book Pudd'nhead Wilson.
Mark Twain came back to Pudd'nhead and his homespun ironies a few years later, when he used more of these maxims as chapter epigraphs in Following the Equator (1897).
