Marriage is popular because it combines the maximum of temptation with the maximum of opportunity.
George Bernard ShawBourgeois morality is largely a system of making cheap virtues a cloak for expensive vices.
George Bernard ShawYe poor posterity, think not that ye are the first. Other fools before ye have seen the sun rise and set, and the moon change her shape and her hour. As they were so ye are; and yet not so great; for the pyramids my people built stand to this day; whilst the dustheaps on which ye slave, and which ye call empires, scatter in the wind even as ye pile your dead sons' bodies on them to make yet more dust.
George Bernard Shaw
