Shaw on Being a Part of It (Full Quote)
“I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatsoever I can.
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I express joy in life for its own sake.
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 doable before handing it on to future generations.”
–George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
Irish writer
