George Bernard Shaw Quotes

What is both surprising and delightful is that the spectators are allowed, and even expected, to join in the vocal part of the game...There is no reason why the field should not try to put the batsman off his stroke at the critical moment by neatly timed disparagements of his wife's fidelity and his mother's respectability.

It moved on at the same, constant pace at every moment in your life. And that was the biggest load of crap that I'd ever been taught in school.
