Man And Superman Quotes by George Bernard Shaw

"Men get tired of everything, of heaven no less than of hell; and that all history is nothing but a record of the oscillations of the world between these two extremes. An epoch is but a swing of the pendulum; and each generation thinks the world is progressing because it is always moving." ~ Man And Superman by George Bernard Shaw "The confusion of marriage with morality has done more to destroy the conscience of the human race than any other single error." ~ Man And Superman by George Bernard Shaw "Written over the gate here are the words 'Leave every hope behind, ye who enter.' Only think what a relief that is! For what is hope? A form of moral responsibility. Here there is no hope, and consequently no duty, no work, nothing to be gained by praying, nothing to be lost by doing what you like. Hell, in short, is a place where you have nothing to do but amuse yourself." ~ Man And Superman by George Bernard Shaw "You can be as romantic as you please about love, Hector; but you mustn't be romantic about money." ~ Man And Superman by George Bernard Shaw "The more things a man is ashamed of, the more respectable he is." ~ Man And Superman by George Bernard Shaw "Those who talk most about the blessings of marriage and the constancy of its vows are the very people who declare that if the chain were broken and the prisoners left free to choose, the whole social fabric would fly asunder. You cannot have the argument both ways. If the prisoner is happy, why lock him in? If he is not, why pretend that he is?" ~ Man And Superman by George Bernard Shaw "There are two tragedies in life. One is not to get your heart's desire. The other is to get it." ~ Man And Superman by George Bernard Shaw
