"I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened."
"Man is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't satisfactory."
"When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries of life disappear and life stands explained."
"Substitute 'damn' every time you're inclined to write 'very;' your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be."
"I was educated in the public schools of Missouri, which were not good enough to do me any harm."
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.
