More from Mark Twain
"I am not an optimist. I am a realist. I believe in the triumph of good over evil. But I don't believe in the triumph of good over evil without a fight."
"Man is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't satisfactory."
"Noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles as if she had laid an asteroid."
"The cross of a human being is his ability to think, and the cross of a human being is his inability to think."
"I can live for two months on a good compliment."
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.
