George Bernard Shaw quote: "Life levels all men. Death reveals the eminent."
Life levels all men. Death reveals the eminent. George Bernard Shaw
We cut the throat of a calf and hang it up by the heels to bleed to death so that our veal cutlet may be white; we nail geese to a board and cram them with food because we like the taste of liver disease; we tear birds to pieces to decorate our women's hats; we mutilate domestic animals for no reason at all except to follow an instinctively cruel fashion; and we connive at the most abominable tortures in the hope of discovering some magical cure for our own diseases by them. George Bernard Shaw
You may remember that on earth—though of course we never confessed it—the death of anyone we knew, even those we liked best, was always mingled with a certain satisfaction at being finally done with them. George Bernard Shaw
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. George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw quote: "The Captain: A martyr, Lavinia, is a fool. Your death will..."
The Captain: A martyr, Lavinia, is a fool. Your death will prove nothing. Lavinia: Then why kill me? George Bernard Shaw
George Bernard Shaw quote: "As long as I have a want, I have a reason for living...."
As long as I have a want, I have a reason for living. Satisfaction is death. George Bernard Shaw
