More from Mark Twain
"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect."
"I am opposed to millionaires, but it would be dangerous to offer me the position."
"There is no humor in heaven."
"One should never use exclamation points in writing. It is like laughing at your own joke."
"I like a good story, but I don't believe it."
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.
