George Bernard Shaw Quotes
We all have--to put it as nicely as I can--our lower centres and our higher centres. Our lower centres act: they act with terriblepower that sometimes destroys us; but they don't talk.... Since the war the lower centres have become vocal. And the effect is that of an earthquake. For they speak truths that have never been spoken before--truths that the makers of our domestic institutions have tried to ignore.

Our souls are invisible, and they give life to our bodies. Angels are invisible, and they're the most powerful of God's creatures.
