George Bernard Shaw Quotes on Death
-
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.
-
The earth is a nursery in which men and women play at being heroes and heroines, saints and sinners; but they are dragged down from their fool's paradise by their bodies: hunger and cold and thirst, age and decay and disease, death above all, make them slaves of reality: thrice a day meals must be eaten and digested: thrice a century a new generation must be engendered: ages of faith, of romance, and of science are all driven at last to have but one prayer 'Make me a healthy animal.'
-

-
Death is for many of us the gate of hell; but we are inside on the way out, not outside on the way in.
-
Do not try to live for ever. You will not succeed.
-
Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
