Soames Monologue from Getting Married

From Getting Married by Bernard Shaw

male · defiant · 55 sec

There is no difference. There is not one Christian rule for solicitors and another for saints. Their hearts are alike; and their way of salvation is along the same road. (THE BISHOP: But "few there be that find it." Can you find it for us, Anthony?) It lies broad before you. It is the way to destruction that is narrow and tortuous. Marriage is an abomination which the Church has founded to cast out and replace by the communion of saints. I learnt that from every marriage settlement I drew up as a solicitor no less than from inspired revelation. You have set yourselves here to put your sin before you in black and white; and you cant agree upon or endure one article of it.
