But If You Make Me Perfect I Shall No Longer Be Myself, Nor Will It Be Possible For Me To Conceive My Present Imperfections (and What I Cannot Conceive I Cannot Remember); So That You May Just As Well Give Me A New Name And Face The Fact That I Am A New Person And That The Old Bernard Shaw Is As Dead As Mutton.
