I haven't any right to criticize books, and I don't do it except when I hate them.

"The human being is a machine. An automatic machine. It does not reason. It merely acts upon the impulse of the moment."
"I am not an American. I am the American."
"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first."
"I am an atheist, and I am not afraid to say it."
"Man is the only animal that blushes. Or needs to."
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.
