The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Quotes

“Context: Tom Sawyer cashing in 2000 tickets for the prize of his very own brand new Bible. Each ticket is to be earned for memorizing a verse of the Bible.

Lady: Now I know you'll tell me. The names of the first two disciples were—
Tom: DAVID AND GOLIAH!
Narrator: Let us draw the curtain of charity over the rest of the scene.”
― Mark Twain, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
