from Mark Twain

So.

This is from a book I bought yesterday about the history of the phone book.

This is from Mark Twain’s Christmas greeting, published in the Boston Globe in 1890:

“It is my heart warm and world-embracing Christmas hope that all of us, the high, the low, the rich, the poor, the admired, the despised, the loved, the hated, the civilized, the savage (every man and brother of us all throughout the whole earth), may eventually be gathered together in a heaven of everlasting rest and peace and bliss, except the inventor of the telephone.”
