“The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter - 'tis the difference between the lightning-bug and the lightning.”

Samuel Clemens was an American writer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is best known for his satirical novels *The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn* and *The Adventures of Tom Sawyer*, which blend humor with sharp social commentary.
