I'm only a beer teetotaller, not a champagne teetotaller.
George Bernard Shaw
New opinions often appear first as jokes and fancies, then as blasphemies and treason, then as questions open to discussion, and finally as established truths.
George Bernard Shaw
If pity is akin to love, gratitude is akin to the other thing.
George Bernard Shaw
Which painting in the National Gallery would I save if there was a fire? The one nearest the door of course.
