Shaw on Drugs and Self-Criticism

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW, an English author, has been at the center of London literary life for a quarter of a century, and has observed “that all the drugs from tea to morphia and all the drams from lager beer to brandy, dull the edge of self-criticism, and make a man content with something less than the best work of which he is soberly capable. He thinks his work better, when he is really only more easily satisfied with himself.”
