"Life does not cease to be funny..." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw

“It's a dangerous thing to be married right up to the hilt, like my daughter's husband. The man is at home all day, like a damned soul in hell.”

“Happiness and Beauty are by-products.”

“Reviewing has one advantage over suicide: in suicide you take it out on yourself; in reviewing you take it out on other people.”

“No man is more unhappy than the one who is never in adversity; the greatest affliction of life is never to be afflicted.”

“Be certain that you do not die without having done something wonderful for humanity.”

“Poetry puts starch in your backbone so you can stand, so you can compose your life.”

“There is no man so blessed that some who stand by his deathbed won't hail the occasion with delight.”

“So to be sick unto death is, not to be able to die-yet not as though there were hope of life; no, the hopelessness in this case is that even the last hope, death, is not available. When death is the greatest danger, one hopes for life; but when one becomes acquainted with an even more dreadful danger, one hopes for death. So when the danger is so great that death has become one's hope, despair is the disconsolateness of not being able to die.”

“Dying is a troublesome business: there is pain to be suffered, and it wrings one's heart; but death is a splendid thing -a warfare accomplished, a beginning all over again, a triumph. You can always see that in their faces.”
