More from Mark Twain
"The human being is a machine. An automatic machine. It does not reason. It merely acts upon the impulse of the moment."
"Supposing is good, but finding out is better."
"Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool."
"What is human life? The first third a good time; the rest remembering about it."
"It is noble to teach oneself, but still nobler to teach others — and less trouble."
About Mark Twain (1835-1910)
American humorist and inventor of the American vernacular novel; author of Huckleberry Finn (1884) and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Closely associated with William Dean Howells (his close friend, editor, and 'Dean of American Letters') and Bret Harte (early collaborator on Western frontier humor). For an intellectual contrast, see Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Christian Science movement — Twain's Christian Science (1907) is a 200-page sustained polemic against Eddy's claims of supernatural healing — the longest sustained attack of his career.
