while i know nothing about mark twain & have never read on of his books,
he has a tonnn of amazing quotes so therefore i deam him awesome:
“To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence.”
“It is easier to stay out than get out.”
"When angry, count to four. When very angry, swear.”
“But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?”
“Life does not consist mainly, or even largely, of facts and happenings. It consists mainly of the storm of thought that is forever flowing through one's head.”
“Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen”
“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear”
“Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself”
“Really great people make you feel that you, too, can become great.”
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
“When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.”
“He liked to like people, therefore people liked him.”
“Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it.”
“If you hold a cat by the tail you learn things you cannot learn any other way.”
“Man was made at the end of the week's work, when God was tired” (hahaha.. burnn)
“A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.”
“All right, then, I'll go to hell.”
