Additional quotes by George Bernard Shaw
The schoolmaster is the person who takes the children off the parents' hands for a consideration. That is to say, he establishes a child prison, engages a number of employee schoolmasters as turnkeys, and covers up the essential cruelty and unnaturalness of the situation by torturing the children if they do not learn, and calling this process, which is within the capacity of any fool or blackguard, by the sacred name of Teaching.
Cuando muera, quiero estar completamente agotado. Pues cuanto más duramente trabajo, más vivo. Gozo de la vida por la vida misma. Para mí la vida no es una pequeña vela. Es una especie de antorcha espléndida que por el momento sostengo, con fuerza, y quiero que arda con el mayor brillo posible antes de entregarla a las futuras generaciones.
