"I finished my first book seventy-six years ago.……" — George Bernard Shaw

"I finished my first book seventy-six years ago. I offered it to every publisher on the English-speaking earth I had ever heard of. Their refusals were unanimous: and it did not get into print until, fifty years later; publishers would publish anything that had my name on it."

— George Bernard Shaw
