"I have been in situations where I could not tell the truth without doing harm, and I have therefore told lies."
"I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened."
"I have a temper, but I have learned to control it. My temper is like a dog that I have trained to lie down when I tell it to."
"I am a person who has always been very much in favor of doing what is right, and I have always been very much against doing what is wrong."
"I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened."
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.
