I didn't know this.

"In 1903, George Bernard Shaw dropped his now famous four-act drama Man and Superman. This play was the first instance of that much-maligned, oft-paraphrased quote:
Bob: I’m so discouraged. My writing teacher told me my novel is hopeless.
Jane: Don’t listen to her, Bob. Remember: those who can, do; those who can’t, teach."

Favorite new teacher quote -- "You found the only possible wrong answer."
