"I told my wife the truth. I told her I was seeing a psychiatrist. Then she told me the truth: that she was seeing a psychiatrist, two plumbers, and a bartender."
"The human race is a race of cowards, and I am not ashamed to say it."
"I have a temper, but I have learned to control it. My temper is like a dog that I have trained to lie down when I tell it to."
"I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington. He could not lie; I can, but I won't."
"The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time."
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.
