More from Mark Twain
"What is human life? The first third a good time; the rest remembering about it."
"An author values a compliment even when it comes from a source of doubtful competency."
"I have a perfectly trained conscience, and it is a great comfort to me. It never bothers me in any way."
"Education: the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty."
"I was born with a reading habit, and it's a good thing, because it's the only habit I've ever had that hasn't cost me money."
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.
