Quotes by George Bernard Shaw

"Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."
"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."
"Schools and schoolmasters, as we have them today, are not popular as places of education and teachers, but rather prisons and turnkeys in which children are kept to prevent them disturbing and chaperoning their parent."
"What we want to see is the child in pursuit of the knowledge not the knowledge in pursuit of the child."
