My religious convictions and scientific views cannot at present be more specifically defined than as those of a believer in creative evolution. I desire that no public monument or work of art or inscription or sermon or ritual service commemorating me shall suggest that I accepted the tenets peculiar to any established church or denomination nor take the form of a cross or any other instrument of torture or symbol of blood sacrifice.

Additional quotes by George Bernard Shaw

Οι άνθρωποι πάντα κατηγορούν τις συνθήκες ζωής τους γι’ αυτό που οι ίδιοι είναι. Δεν πιστεύω στις περιστάσεις και τις συνθήκες. Οι άνθρωποι που πετυχαίνουν σ’ αυτό τον κόσμο είναι αυτοί που προχωρούν, διαλέγουν τις συνθήκες και τις περιστάσεις που θέλουν κι όταν δεν τις βρίσκουν τις δημιουργούν.
