Quote by George Bernard Shaw

I never thought much of the courage of a lion tamer. Inside the cage he is at least safe from people.

I never thought much of the courage of a lion tamer. Inside

Summary

This quote highlights the irony of lion tamers and their perceived courage. It suggests that their bravery is not as impressive or admirable as it may seem at first glance. While they may appear brave for confronting powerful and potentially dangerous animals, the quote suggests that they are actually protected within the cage and shielded from the true dangers posed by humans outside. Thus, it questions the authenticity of their courage and whether it is truly deserving of admiration.

You know...that a blank wall is an apalling thing to look at. The wall of a museum -- a canvas -- a piece of film -- or a guy sitting in front of a typewriter. Then, you start out to do something -- that vague thing called creation. The beginning strikes awe within you.
