"I am a person who has always been very much in favor of doing what is right, and I have always been very much against doing what is wrong."
"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."
"Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please."
"There is no sadder thing than a young pessimist than perhaps an old optimist."
"Life: we laugh and laugh, then cry and cry, then feebler laugh, then die."
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.
