Cruelty must be whitewashed by a moral excuse, and pretense of reluctance.
George Bernard Shaw
Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.
George Bernard Shaw
Sister, you're trying to keep me alive as an old curiosity, but I'm done, I'm finished, I'm going to die.
George Bernard Shaw
Most married couples spend the whole day apart, the woman in the house, the man in the office or study or workshop.
