To quote GB Shaw...
"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, Man and Superman (1903) "Maxims for Revolutionists".
Irish dramatist and socialist (1856 - 1950)
