Unreasonable People

May 20, 2007|Richard Nikoley||

If you take "reasonable" to mean that which most everyone considers reasonable, then this is pretty good:

Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable people
attempt to adapt the world to themselves. All progress, therefore,
depends on unreasonable people. — George Bernard Shaw

(Bill Egan)

    Quite an interesting concept – I think it takes more of a balance between people for progress – even the unreasonable people need to be reasonable sometimes ;).
