More from Mark Twain
"One should never use exclamation points in writing. It is like laughing at your own joke."
"I would rather have my ignorance than another man's knowledge, because I have so much more of it."
"We are all a little mad. Those of us who are able to laugh at our own madness are sane enough."
"I was sorry to have my name mentioned as one of the great authors, because they have a hell of a time in heaven."
"I have a perfectly trained conscience, and it is a great comfort to me. It never bothers me in any way."
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.
