George Bernard Shaw
Write your Sad times in Sand, Write your Good times in Stone.
George Bernard Shaw
Live in contact with dreams and you will get something of their charm: live in contact with facts and you will get something of their brutality. I wish I could find a country to live in where the facts were not brutal and the dreams not real.
George Bernard Shaw
Decency is indecency's conspiracy of silence
