    Live in contact with dreams and you will get something of their charm: live in contact with facts and you will get something of their brutality. I wish I could find a country to live in where the facts were not brutal and the dreams not real.
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. And also the only real tragedy in life is being used by personally minded men for purposes which you recognize to be base.
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
