GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

Twain and George Bernard Shaw
Illustration from WASHINGTON TIMES, June 28, 1907
reprinting the PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

I like his face.
- quoted in interview in "Mark Twain Tells Sea Tales," New York Sun, June 19, 1907

Shaw is a pleasant man; simple, direct, sincere, animated; but self-possessed, sane, and evenly poised, acute engaging, companionable, and quite destitute of affectation. I like him.
- autobiographical dictation, August 25, 1907; reprinted in Mark Twain's Library: A Reconstruction
