George Bernard Shaw Quotes

No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.

Humans have to realise they're not individuals but individual parts of the same organism, with responsibility to each other.

All human beings are interconnected, one with all other elements in creation.

We ought to think that we are one of the leaves of a tree, and the tree is all humanity. We cannot live without the others, without the tree.

No part of the human community can live entirely on its own planet, with its own laws of motion and cut off from the rest of humanity.

I believe we are all connected to other people. I am connected to people who are suffering. We all are.

We are increasingly open to understanding how we are all connected and that if we sink the ship that we are all on, we all drown. However, we have simultaneously become so focused on our own life experiences that we think we are alone.

Independence ... is middle-class blasphemy. We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth

We have a stake in one another ... what binds us together is greater than what drives us apart

We need a wider sense of community because we're all on the same planet.

I believe in a kind of literature which makes clear that, at a deeper level, below the surface, we are tied together through invisible but existing threads. A kind of literature which talks about a lively, ever-changing world of unity, of which we are a small, but not insignificant part.

Our world and our lives have become increasingly interdependent, so when our neighbour is harmed, it affects us too. Therefore we have to abandon outdated notions of 'them' and 'us' and think of our world much more in terms of a great 'US', a greater human family.

Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.

Each life reverberates in every other life. Whether or not we acknowledge it, we are connected, woven together in our needs and desires, rich and poor, men and women alike.

Just as the individual is not alone in the group, nor any one in society alone among the others, so man is not alone in the universe.

We are each other's destiny.

My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.

Today, as never before, the fates of men are so intimately linked to one another that a disaster for one is a disaster for everybody.

We are so bound together that no man can labor for himself alone. Each blow he strikes in his own behalf helps to mold the universe.

In a sense, each of us is an island. In another sense, however, we are all one. For though islands appear separate, and may even be situated at great distances from one another, they are only extrusions of the same planet, Earth.

The Destiny of every Nation is bound to the Destiny of all Others.

Life doesn't make any sense without interdependence. We need each other, and the sooner we learn that, the better for us all.

I think it's really important that we understand that we share this world and we're connected to it.

No man is an island. No man stands alone.

On this shrunken globe, men can no longer live as strangers.
