"It is assumed that the woman must..." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw

“You have learnt something. That always feels at first as if you had lost something.”

“Make money and the whole nation will conspire to call you a gentleman.”

“In a hospital they throw you out into the street before you are half cured, but in a nursing home they don't let you out till you are dead.”

“All the privilege I claim for my own sex ... is that of loving longest, when existence or hope is gone.”

“I am afraid that old women are more skeptical in their most secret heart of hearts than any man: they believe in the superficiality of existence as in its essence, and all virtue and profundity is to them merely a veil over this "truth," a most welcome veil over a pudendum--and so a matter of decency and modesty, and nothing else.”

“If you are in a country that is progressive, the woman is progressive. If you're in a country that reflects the consciousness toward the importance of education, it's because the woman is aware of the importance of education. But in every backward country you'll find the women are backward, and in every country where education is not stressed its because the women don't have education.”

“Love, the poet said, is woman's whole existence.”

“Men of sense, whatever you may choose to say, do not want silly wives.”

“A lot of people when they retire, they just expire. It happens to men more than women. Women usually have great interest in the family, because the family's always growing and they're always coming to the rescue.”
