George Bernard Shaw
You don't expect me to know what to say about a play when I don't know who the author is, do you? . . . If it's by a good author, it's a good play, naturally. That stands to reason.
George Bernard Shaw
Which painting in the National Gallery would I save if there was a fire? The one nearest the door of course.
