About the novel Tom Sawyer
That drop fell when the pyramids were still new, when Troy fell, when the foundations of Rome were laid, when Christ was crucified, when the conquerors founded the Greek empire, when Columbus set sail, and when the Lexington Massacre was still news. It falls now, and it will continue to fall when all these things have passed into the age of history, into the twilight of tradition, and are swallowed up by the thick night of oblivion.

Does everything have a purpose and a mission? Has this drop been patiently falling for five thousand years, just to be there when this gasping human insect needs it? Does it have something else important to accomplish after ten thousand years? It doesn't matter.

Many, many years have passed since the wretched mulatto dug the stone to collect the priceless drops, but to this day, the longest thing a tourist gazes at when they come to see the sights of McDougall's Cave is that pitiful stone and the slowly dripping water. Injun Joe's Cup stands at the top of the list of the cave's wonders, and even Aladdin's Palace cannot compete with it.

Quotes from the book Tom Sawyer
Saturday morning came, and the whole world was bright and fresh, there was a song in every heart, joy in every face, and merriment in every step.
