do uou know of other quotes he has said about huck finn

Answer 1

I haven't been able to source this quote. Of course, Huck didn't always do the right thing. If he had, he surely would have astonished his friends and neighbors.

Here are some additional quotes from Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens) about "Huckleberry Finn":

"A book of mine where a sound heart and a deformed conscience come into collision and conscience suffers defeat." ~~Notebook #35 (reprinted in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Univ. of California Press, 2003)

"When people let Huck Finn alone he goes peacefully along, damaging a few children here and there and yonder, but there will be plenty of children in heaven without those, so it is no great matter. It is only when well-meaning people expose him that he gets his real chance to do harm. Temporarily, then, he spreads havoc all around in the nurseries and no doubt does prodigious harm while he has his chance. By and by, let us hope, people that really have the best interests of the rising generation at heart will become wise and not stir Huck up." ~~Mark Twain's Autobiography

"Always do right; this will gratify some people and astonish the rest." ~~Note to the Young People's Society, Greenpoint Presbyterian Church, 1901

Answer 2

i do no longer ideas new translations of the Bible as long as they are real to the unique Greek and Hebrew. The question for me is; "Does the recent e book replace the unique meaning?" the recent words used look to water down Mark Twain's unique meaning so censorship could be at the back of the variations.
