Quote by George Bernard Shaw

Work

Back to Methuselah

This work presents a speculative vision of human development across thousands of years. The plays progress from the present day through successive eras, imagining how humanity might evolve physically and spiritually if given vastly extended lifespans. Shaw uses this framework to examine philosophical questions about the nature of humanity, progress, and the obstacles that prevent human advancement. The work reflects Shaw's characteristic wit and his interest in social reform, presenting his ideas through dramatic dialogue rather than didactic exposition. more

"A lot of white folks in these parts, their ancestors were killed in what your history books call the Great Sioux Uprising. In schools, they teach that the Dakota were savages, that we rose up against our neighbors and slaughtered them." "The Sioux--Dakota--here probably have ancestors killed by whites." "But the Dakota didn't win that war. In the end, a war is always about who wins. My people had no chance. It doesn't matter that they had every reason to be angry and desperate. They'd been lied to, cheated, starved, their land and everything on it stolen. So they fought. And they lost. But the history has been written by the whites. In Black Earth County, it's the whites who believe they were set on unfairly, cruelly, and have the right to carry all that hatred in their hearts.”

Kuzuia mizigo ya CS-14, na kumkamata kiongozi wake, lazima tupigane kufa na kupona. Kwa siku kumi shehena zikamatwe na kuharibiwa, na viongozi wa Santita (wote) wakamatwe na kuwekwa chini ya sheria.”
