Who is George Bernard Shaw? Genius or Mad Man?

George Bernard Shaw (26 July 1856 – 2 November 1950) was an Irish playwright.  he wrote more than 60 plays. Nearly all his writings deal sternly with prevailing social problems, but have a vein of comedy to make their stark themes more palatable. Shaw examined education, marriage, religion, government, health care and class privilege.   Shaw wrote five unsuccessful novels at the start of his career between 1879 and 1883. Eventually all were published. Shaw was pro-Islam , Socialist-Marxist  and defended Hitler mass murder finally was the Nobel Prize Recipient in 1925. Some of his most famous quotes. A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.           George Bernard Shaw   A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. George Bernard Shaw  A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it; it would be hell on earth.
