George Bernard Shaw On English Entitlement

 'At every one of these concerts in England
you will find rows full of weary people
who are there not because they really like classical music
but because they think they ought to like it.

There is the same thing in Heaven,
a number of people sit there in glory
not because they are happy
but because they think they owe it
to their position to be in Heaven.
They are almost all English.'.

from his play 'Man and Superman'.
