Our prejudices are so deeply rooted that we never think of them as prejudices but call them common sense.
George Bernard ShawSocial questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce greatpoetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama; but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.
George Bernard ShawThe people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can't find them, make them.
