More from Mark Twain
"It's a classic… something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read."
"I am not an American. I am a Missourian."
"The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also."
"The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time."
"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
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.
