"I have never seen a dead person who looked natural."
"The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not."
"The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also."
"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."
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.
