Thought of the Day

Today's thought of the day comes from Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), who was obviously way ahead of his time. A vegetarian since the age of 25, Shaw was better known for his criticism of class structure and the defense of working-class poor, and perhaps less well known for his humility, as he claimed that "a man of my spiritual intensity does not eat corpses". Well, George, I'm not one to judge! Here's today's thought of the day:

Animals are my friends...and I don't eat my friends.
--George Bernard Shaw
