More from Mark Twain
"I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough."
"Noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles as if she had laid an asteroid."
"I am not an optimist. I am a realist."
"Supposing is good, but finding out is better."
"The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug."
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.
