George Bernard Shaw

Home life is no more natural to us than a cage is natural to a cockatoo.

All my life affection has been showered upon me, and every forward step I have made has been taken in spite of it.

I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake.

Miracles, in the sense of phenomena we cannot explain, surround us on every hand: life itself is the miracle of miracles.

The great advantage of a hotel is that it is a refuge from home life.

Life contains but two tragedies. One is not to get your heart’s desire the other is to get it.

There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart’s desire. The other is to gain it.

Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life.

Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
