Quarta-feira, 21/8/2002 Shaw quotes Eduardo Carvalho Em tempos de mediocridade e eufemismo, ler alguns aforismos de Bernard Shaw é sempre reanimador: "The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains that I have so humbly taken to verify my notions have only wasted my time." "The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it." "A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth." "Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it." "Money is indeed the most important thing in the world; and all the sound and successful personal and national morality should have this fact for its basis." "My way of joking is to tell the truth. It is the funniest joke in the world." "I often quote myself; it adds spice to my conversation." Eduardo Carvalho |
