More from Mark Twain
"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."
"Supposing is good, but finding out is better."
"I was educated in the public schools of Missouri, which were not good enough to do me any harm."
"It is discouraging to try to penetrate a mind like yours. You ought to get it thoroughly fumigated, and then put in a new lot of furniture."
"The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also."
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.
