        In studying the traits and dispositions of the so-called lower animals, and contrasting them with man's, I find the result humiliating to me. — Mark Twain (1835-1910) The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven, not man's. — Mark Twain, Letter to W.D. Howells, 1899

        One of my favorite people, ever. Thanks for this. I remember reading he was born when Halley's Comet was "coming through," and died when it passed through again. So appropriate for someone of his brilliance, wit, devotion. Thx, MB.

        Twain's house in Connecticut, which I believe was even beyond his means, is the house on the planet in which I'd most like to live.

        Thanks for this -- love it! 💖 When I was a little girl in Elmira, NY, our neighbor was the elderly & elegant Mrs. Frances Petrie who had been a playmate of Mark Twain's daughters. Her father, Dr. Franklin "Frank" Benjamin Darby, was Mark Twain's dentist.

        Too bad Mark Twain wasn't able to live another century or so. We could use him.
