Kurt Vonnegut Twain Quotations

I told him that if we doubted that we are demons in Hell, he should read The Mysterious Stranger, which Mark Twain wrote in 1898, long before the First World War (1914-1918). In the title story he proves to his own grim satisfaction, and to mine as well, that Satan and not God created the planet earth and ""the damned human race."" If you doubt that, read your morning paper. Never mind what paper. Never mind the date.
