“I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live.
I rejoice in life for its own sake.
Life is no “brief candle” for me.
It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.” – George Bernard Shaw
Shaw died at the age of 94 following complications when he fell from an apple tree. The only winner of both a Nobel prize & an Academy award.
