More from Mark Twain
"Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person."
"Why shouldn't I be an optimist? I have nothing to lose."
"I would not live forever. Because we should not live forever. Because if we did live forever, then we would live forever."
"I have been an author for 20 years and an ass for 55."
"I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington. He could not lie; I can, but I won't."
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.
