Quote of the Day: Reasonable Edition

I just saw an awesome quote from George Bernard Shaw that I don't remember ever seeing before: 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.

Comment: Amen!
