More from Mark Twain
"Man is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't satisfactory."
"Work is a necessary evil to be avoided."
"I am not an optimist. I am a realist."
"The human race is a joke. We are the only beings on this planet that have developed a sense of humor, and yet we are the only ones who take ourselves seriously."
"The human being is a machine. An automatic machine. It does not reason. It merely acts upon the impulse of the moment."
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.
