"Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to..." — George Bernard Shaw

The idea of personal salvation is intensely repugnant to me when it is not absurd. Imagine Roosevelt, the big brute, preserving his personality in a future state and swaggering about as a celestial Rough Rider!

My method of getting a play across the footlights is like a revolver shooting: every line has a bullet in it and comes with an explosion.

If I were a woman, I'd simply refuse to speak to any man or do anything for men until I'd got the vote.

I have to live for others and not for myself: that's middle-class morality.
