"When commenting on the turmoil and disorder..." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw

“Reminiscences make one feel so deliciously aged and sad.”

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

“A day's work is a day's work, neither more nor less, and the man or woman who does it needs a day's sustenance, a night's repose and due leisure, whether they be painter or ploughman.”

“I am sorry to say that there is too much point to the wisecrack that life is extinct on other planets because their scientists were more advanced than ours.”

“Freedom is not merely a word or an abstract theory, but the most effective instrument for advancing the welfare of man.”

“It was curious to think that the sky was the same for everybody, in Eurasia or Eastasia as well as here. And the people under the sky were also very much the same--everywhere, all over the world, hundreds or thousands of millions of people just like this, people ignorant of one another's existence, held apart by walls of hatred and lies, and yet almost exactly the same--people who had never learned to think but were storing up in their hearts and bellies and muscles the power that would one day overturn the world.”

“Château and hut, stone face and dangling figure, the red stain on the stone floor, and the pure water in the village well-thousands of acres of land-a whole province of France-all France itself-lay under the night sky, concentrated into a faint hairbreadth line. So does a whole world, with all its greatnesses and littlenesses, lie in a twinkling star.”

“Start embracing the life that is calling you and use your life to serve the world.”

“For it is only as an aesthetic phenomenon that existence and the world are eternally justified.”
