England and America are two countries separated by the same

Summary

This quote, often attributed to George Bernard Shaw, suggests that despite English being the primary language spoken in both England and America, there are considerable differences between the two countries when it comes to their use and interpretation of the language. It alludes to the fact that even though they share a common linguistic foundation, subtle variations in vocabulary, pronunciation, and expressions result in distinctive dialects and communication styles. This quote plays on the irony of two nations seemingly united by language but still having to navigate these linguistic variations to fully understand one another.

Any great art work revives and readapts time and space, and the measure of its success is the extent to which it makes you an inhabitant of that world - the extent to which it invites you in and lets you breathe its strange, special air.
