George Bernard Shaw
We have in England a curious belief in first-rate people, meaning all the people we do not know and this consoles us for the undeniable second-rateness of the people we do know.
George Bernard Shaw
The most tragic thing in the world is a man of genius who is not a man of honor.
George Bernard Shaw
