" "The average age (longevity) of a meat eater is 63. I am on the verge of 85 and still work as hard as ever. I have lived quite long enough and am trying to die; but I simply cannot do it.

Additional quotes by George Bernard Shaw

Charrington calls me a Tory because I declare for Imperialism as our social theory.
