More from Mark Twain
"Noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles as if she had laid an asteroid."
"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."
"What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself."
"I would not live forever. Because we should not live forever. Because if we did live forever, then we would live forever."
"When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years."
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.
