More from Mark Twain
"I was educated once – it took me years to get over it."
"The church is always trying to get money, and always trying to be popular, and always doing both things very badly."
"When in doubt, tell the truth. It will confound your enemies and astound your friends."
"The very ink with which all history is written is merely fluid prejudice, but the stuff with which all history is made is merely fluid ignorance."
"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."
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.
