We get so involved into the media, that people forget about people like Mark Twain. Instead of talking about "The jersey Shore" or Who wore it better, talk about "The last book you read" or "The meaning of things in life" you may wake up the next day refreshed =))!! 9 people got it so far!! I'm the 10th

If he were alive today, he'd be a stand-up comedian.

Every photograph portrays an inner calm and a knowing wisdom.

I was about to say something witty, but everything would seem trivial to this man's wisdom, so I'd say Mark Twain is one of the best authors of all time. History is made by people like him.

George Carlin was the last Great philosopher of our times, Mark Twain and him are like two birds of one flock to me!

He's still alive through all of us here. Although he'd never approve of it.

What an inspiring individual 

[FreakyKing2]

I always see people quoting rap and current music artists today with things about life and love....what happened to men like this, just because he didn't put it in a catchy song doesn't mean it possesses less meaning.

I have a feeling that Twain would be deeply disheartened to see so many people relying on multimedia distractions in today's world. But I'd still like to hear what he had to say about it.
