"What is really important in Man is..." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw

“The art of manipulating public opinion, which is a necessary art for the democratic politician, and, like other arts, is sometimespractised with greater virtuosity by knaves than by honest men (who are apt to disdain it), has a different technique in different countries. For instance, in England we excel in whitewashing: in America they excel in tarring and feathering. We strain our nerves and stretch our consciences to avoid a scandal: Americans do the same to make one.”

“I'm one of the undeserving poor: that's what I am. Think of what that means to a man. It means that he's up agen middle class morality all the time.... What is middle class morality? Just an excuse for never giving me anything.”

“What a man is depends on his character; but what he does, and what we think of what he does, depends on his circumstances.”

“To make converts is the natural ambition of everyone.”

“Most of the significant contributions that have been made to society have been made by people who were tired.”

“A coward is less than a man. He does not deserve to be a member of a society of men and women”

“Man's task is to become conscious of the contents that press upward from the unconscious.”

“Whenever we touch nature we get clean. People who have got dirty through too much civilization take a walk in the woods, or a bath in the sea. Entering the unconscious, entering yourself through dreams, is touching nature from the inside and this is the same thing, things are put right again.”

“You may not yet be able to bring your unconscious mind activity into awareness as thoughts, but it will always be reflected in the body as an emotion, and of this you can become aware.”
