Quote of the Day
“If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.”
George Bernard Shaw, Immaturity
Shaw's expressed views were often contentious; he promoted eugenics and alphabet reform, and opposed vaccination and organised religion. He courted unpopularity by denouncing both sides in the First World War as equally culpable, and although not a republican, castigated British policy on Ireland in the postwar period.
