George Bernard Shaw
If you do things merely because you think some other fool expects you to do them, and he expects you to do them because he thinks you expect him to expect you to do them, it will end in everybody doing what nobody wants to do, which is in my opinion a silly state of things.
George Bernard Shaw
I am oppressed with a dread of living forever. That is the only disadvantage of vegetarianism.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
