"I am an atheist. I don't believe in God. I believe in a God who is not God."
"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."
"I was sorry to have to tell him that I had never heard of him. He was a very pleasant man, and I wished him well."
"I am a democrat only on principle, not by instinct, nobody is that. Doubtless some people say they are, but this world is grievously given to lying."
"The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also."
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.
