Name that famous person (from their quotes)! (Revisited)

A while back, John Doe created this thread in the Speakeasy, and I thought it was a great idea--it was certainly a lot of fun. The premise behind this activity is simple: someone provides a quote, and (optionally) gives the initials of the person who the quote is attributed to. The next person provides the name, then provides a quote of their own.

I suppose I'll start it off with an easy one.

quote:

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

--G.B.S.

Ah, a nice start

George Bernard Shaw..


"Now they show you how detergents take out bloodstains, a pretty violent image there. I think if you've got a T-shirt with a bloodstain all over it, maybe laundry isn't your biggest problem.Maybe you should get rid of the body before you do the wash."

"One death is a tragedy; a million is a statistic."

Love is not kind or honest and does not contribute to happiness in any reliable way.
