Quote by George Bernard Shaw

Kings are not born: they are made by artificial hallucination.

Kings are not born: they are made by artificial hallucinatio

Summary

This quote suggests that the notion of kingship and the power associated with it is not an inherent quality or natural ability, but rather a result of a collective belief or constructed illusion. It hints at the idea that kingship relies heavily on the perception and imagination of people, who construct the concept of royalty and grant power to individuals. Thus, the quote emphasizes that the position of a king is not a biological destiny but rather a product of societal and cultural constructs.

Actual life was chaos, but there was something terribly logical in the imagination. It was the imagination that set remorse to dog the feet of sin. It was the imagination that made each crime bear its misshapen brood. In the common world of fact the wicked were not punished, nor the good rewarded. Success was given to the strong, failure thrust upon the weak. That was all.
