"Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most."
"I have no special regard for the past, it’s a dead letter."
"I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington. He could not lie; I can, but I won't."

"The greatest of all inventions is the invention of 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.
