"When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old."
"In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards."
"If you don't read a newspaper, you are uninformed. If you do read it, you are misinformed."
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.
