More from Mark Twain
"I have been in situations where I could not tell the truth without doing harm, and I have therefore told lies."
"I was sorry to have to tell him that I had never heard of him. He was a very pleasant man, and I wished him well."
"I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington. He could not lie; I can, but I won't."
"The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time."
"I had a great deal of trouble with my wife, so I got married again."
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.
