George Bernard Shaw
No man can be a pure specialist without being in the strict sense an idiot.
George Bernard Shaw
If you don't begin to be a revolutionist at the age of twenty, then at fifty you will be a most impossible old fossil. If you area red revolutionary at the age of twenty, you have some chance of being up-to-date when you are forty!
George Bernard Shaw
I believe in Michelangelo, Velasquez, and Rembrandt in the might of design, the mystery of color, the redemption of all things by Beauty everlasting, and the message of Art that has made these hands blessed. Amen. Amen.
George Bernard Shaw
Get out of my way for I won't stop for you.
George Bernard Shaw
