More from Mark Twain
"It is easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled."
"Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company."
"I am a person who has always been very much in favor of the truth, and I have always been very much against falsehood."
"Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get."
"Life: we laugh and laugh, then cry and cry, then feebler laugh, then die."
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.
