George Bernard Shaw
I no longer desire happiness: life is nobler than that.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
The great advantage of a hotel is that it is a refuge from home life.
George Bernard Shaw
A vegetarian is not a person who lives on vegetables, any more than a Catholic is a person who lives on cats.
George Bernard Shaw
