Sounds like he needed a pat on the back


J. B. Priestley, English novelist, critic and broadcaster, was born on this day in 1894. He wrote:

"The men who are forever slapping one on the back and saying that everything will come right are bad enough, but more intolerable are those persons who will persist in slapping humanity itself on the back and regarding all life with an unchanging grin of approval."
