George Bernard Shaw
Patriotism is a pernicious, psychopathic form of idiocy.
George Bernard Shaw
Never waste jealousy on a real man: it is the imaginary man that supplants us all in the long run.
George Bernard Shaw
Oh, well, if you want original conversations, you'd better go and talk to yourself.
