"Noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles as if she had laid an asteroid."
"Such is the human race. Often it does seem such a pity that Noah didn't miss the boat."
"I don't have a bank account, because I don't know my mother's maiden name."
"Don't wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it."
"The finest clothing made is a man's own skin, but, of course, society demands something more than this."
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.
