"You must not suppose, because I am..." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw

“All censorships exist to prevent anyone from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions.”

“I can think of no other edifice constructed by man as altruistic as a lighthouse. They were built only to serve.”

“The person who is ignorant enough to believe that his nourishment depends on meat is in a horrible dilemma.”

“It's a big error to think that because you like somebody's work, you're going to like him.”

“A lawyer without books would be like a workman without tools.”

“You could be the world's best garbage man, the world's best model; it don't matter what you do if you're the best.”

“In literature the ambition of the novice is to acquire the literary language; the struggle of the adept is to get rid of it.”

“Like a lot of us, sometimes I'm preaching to the choir, and sometimes my voice doesn't even get heard at all. Sometimes I think that what I'm writing now might not even have an impact for the next three or four generations. Sometimes I sit there and write, and I think, "It'll be two hundred years before they get what I'm writing about."”

“Remember, with writing, what you’re looking for is just one person to come up and tell you, 'I love you for what you do.'”
