Quote by George Bernard Shaw

Where equality is undisputed, so also is subordination.

Where equality is undisputed, so also is subordination.

Summary

This quote suggests that when equality is unquestioned or accepted as a norm, subordination or inequality is also unquestioned. It implies that a society or system cannot truly achieve equality if there are still instances of subordination within it. In other words, if there are elements in which certain individuals or groups are subordinate or subjected to unequal treatment, it undermines the notion of true equality. The quote highlights the need for addressing and eliminating all forms of subordination in order to achieve a truly equal society.

But I liked Yeats! That wild Irishman. I really loved his love of language, his flow. His chaotic ideas seemed to me just the right thing for a poet. Passion! He was always on the right side. He may be wrongheaded, but his heart was always on the right side. He wrote beautiful poetry.
