George Bernard Shaw Quotes

George Bernard Shaw was an Irish playwright, literary critic, socialist propagandist and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925. Although his first profitable writing was music and literary criticism, his main talent was for drama, and he wrote more than 60 plays.Nearly all his writings address prevailing social problems, but have a vein of comedy which makes their stark themes more palatable.
