George Bernard Shaw -- Irish dramatist, literary critic, socialist spokesman, 20th century theater figure, Nobel Laureate in Literature (1925), freethinker, defender of women's rights, and advocate of equality of income.
Shaw was always outspoken and frequently misinterpreted by the more conservative elements of society. Yet he managed to offer some keen insights on the human community and condition. Here are a few:

Take care to get what you like or you will be forced to like what you get.
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.
What do you think? Has he captured some truth?
