"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first."
"The principal difference between a cat and a lie is that a cat has only nine lives."
"If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and man."
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.
