George Bernard Shaw
All this struggling and striving to make the world better is a great mistake. Not that it's wrong to try to improve the world if you know how but simply because struggling and striving are the worst possible ways to go about doing anything!
George Bernard Shaw
Rebecca [West] can handle a pen as brilliantly as ever I could and much more savagely.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who understand evil pardon it.
George Bernard Shaw
A photographer is like a cod, which produces a million eggs in order that one may reach maturity.
