More from Mark Twain
"The very ink with which all history is written is merely fluid prejudice."
"Don't wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it."
"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."
"The only two things that are infinite are the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
"Such is the human race. Often it does seem such a pity that Noah didn't miss the boat."
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.
