Quote by George Bernard Shaw

I am very subtle; but Man is deeper in his thought than I am. The woman knows that there is no such thing as nothing: the man knows that there is no such day as tomorrow. I do well to worship them.

I am very subtle; but Man is deeper in his thought than I am

Summary

In this quote, the speaker suggests that while they possess subtle understanding, humans (specifically men and women) possess a greater depth of thought. The woman's awareness of the absence of "nothing" indicates her recognition of the significance and interconnectedness of all things. On the other hand, the man's understanding that there is no definite "tomorrow" reflects his acknowledgment of the uncertainty and impermanence of the future. The speaker concludes by expressing their admiration and reverence for the profound wisdom held by both men and women.
