Mark Twain
“Only one thing is impossible for God: To find any sense in any copyright law on the planet.”
Mark Twain, Letters from the Earth: Uncensored Writings

Mark Twain
“The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and a seal.”
Mark Twain, Letters from the Earth: Uncensored Writings

Mark Twain
“I have been studying the traits and dispositions of the "lower animals" (so called) and contrasting them with the traits and dispositions of man. I find the result humiliating to me.”
Mark Twain, Letters from the Earth: Uncensored Writings

Mark Twain
“Man is a marvelous curiosity. When he is at his very very best he is a sort of low grade nickel-plated angel; at is worst he is unspeakable, unimaginable; and first and last and all the time he is a sarcasm. Yet he blandly and in all sincerity calls himself the "noblest work of God.”
Mark Twain, Letters from the Earth: Uncensored Writings

Salman Rushdie
“What kind of idea are you? Are you the kind that compromises, does deals, accomodates itself to society, aims to find a niche, to survive; or are you the cussed, bloody-minded, ramrod-backed type of damnfool notion that would rather break than sway with the breeze? – The kind that will almost certainly, ninety-nine times out of hundred, be smashed to bits; but, the hundredth time, will change the world.”
Salman Rushdie, The Satanic Verses
