George Bernard Shaw's Definition of Hell

After reading the quote A Splendid Torch at inward/outward I wanted to read some other quotations from George Bernard Shaw the Irish playwright and author.

He is very quotable.

Here are some more quotes from George Bernard Shaw - Wikiquote, that struck me as interesting -

"Written over the gate here are the words 'Leave every hope behind, ye who enter.' Only think what a relief that is! For what is hope? A form of moral responsibility. Here there is no hope, and consequently no duty, no work, nothing to be gained by praying, nothing to be lost by doing what you like. Hell, in short, is a place where you have nothing to do but amuse yourself."

"A perpetual holiday is a good working definition of hell."

"You see things; and you say Why? But I dream things that never were; and I say Why not?"

The following four quotes are from Barleby.com Maxims for Revolutionists. Shaw, Bernard. 1903. Man and Superman -

"Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.
If we could learn from mere experience, the stones of London would be wiser than its wisest men."

"Hell is paved with good intentions, not with bad ones.
All men mean well."

"Every man is a revolutionist concerning the thing he understands. For example, every person who has mastered a profession is a sceptic concerning it, and consequently a revolutionist.
Every genuine religious person is a heretic and therefore a revolutionist.
All who achieve real distinction in life begin as revolutionists. The most distinguished persons become more revolutionary as they grow older, though they are commonly supposed to become more conservative owing to their loss of faith in conventional methods of reform.
Any person under the age of thirty, who, having any knowledge of the existing social order, is not a revolutionist, is an inferior."

"I said, with the foolish philosopher, “I think; therefore I am.” It was Woman who taught me to say “I am; therefore I think.” And also “I would think more; therefore I must be more.”
