More from Mark Twain
"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 am not an optimist. I am a realist. I believe in the triumph of good over evil. But I don't believe in the triumph of good over evil without a fight."
"There is no humor in heaven."
"We are all a little mad. Those of us who are able to laugh at our own madness are sane enough."
"I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough."
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.
