From Getting Married by Bernard Shaw

male · philosophical · 53 sec

Itll ease your minds, believe me: I speak from experience. You will burn your boats, as one might say. (SOAMES: We should never burn our boats. It is death in life.) Well, Father, I will say for you that you have views of your own and are not afraid to out with them. But some of us are of a more cheerful disposition. On the Borough Council now, you would be in a minority of one. You must take human nature as it is.
