The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw

Shaw has ALWAYS been my favorite playwrite, first sign to my parents that they had an odd one was me at 6 or 7 asking them to find where he plays were being performed and taking me. By 10 I had read every play and had a nice little connection.
My favorite (I may muddle the words a bit): Hell is the home of honor duty justice and the rest of the deadly virtues, all the wickedness on earth is done in their name where else but in hell should they earn their reward? — Don Juan in Hell/Man and Superman
Hmmm. Inspirational, really.
Makes me wish I were a bit more unreasonable.
