Quotes from Neville:

>“Some men see things as they are and say: Why? I dream things that never were and say: Why not? (George Bernard Shaw).

>If I can remain loyal to that unseen reality, I will have confirmation that he is the being that I am assuming that he is. Some one will write me or maybe I’ll meet him in the flesh, but in some way I will get confirmation that what I think I see in him or desire to see in him, and persuade myself that I do see in him, [that] it will come to pass.

>What I did – it seemed real while I did it, and then one second later, here I am on my chair, and everything I see in my room denies that I did anything that the world would call real. But I did it! And, then, in the not-distant future, I was forced across a series of events, which led up to the fulfillment of that state. 

>But it taught me a lesson: not to use this law idly, not to use it to escape, but to use it deliberately because you cannot escape from it. A series of events will mold themselves, across which you will walk, leading up to the fulfillment of that state.

>George Bernard Shaw)
'The most striking result of our present system of farming out the national Land and capital to private individuals has been the division of society into hostile classes, with large appetites and no dinners at one extreme, and large dinners and no appetites at the other'

Shaw, Fabian Tract No. 2: A Manifesto (1884).[48]

For to every one who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. — Matthew 25:29, RSV.


Shaw's views on religion and Christianity were less consistent. Having in his youth proclaimed himself an atheist, in middle age he explained this as a reaction against the Old Testament image of a vengeful Jehovah. By the early twentieth century, he termed himself a 'mystic', although Gary Sloan, in an essay on Shaw's beliefs, disputes his credentials as such.

You think he found out about the law later in life?

In the preface (1915) to Androcles and the Lion, Shaw asks 'Why not give Christianity a chance?' contending that Britain's social order resulted from the continuing choice of Barabbas over Christ.[302] 

Hmm. What lesson was it Neville talked about Christ and Barabbas?
