Quotes 

• The Inspector : There are millions and millions of Eva Smiths and John Smiths still left with us, with their lives, their hopes and fears, their suffering and chance of happiness, all intertwined with our lives in what we think and say and do. We don't live alone upon this earth. We are members of one body. We are responsible for each other. And if mankind will not learn that lesson, then the time will, soon, when he will be taught it in fire and blood and anguish.

• Arthur Birling : [about his workers]  If you don't come down hard on some of these people, they'll soon be asking for the earth.

  Gerald Croft : [obsequiously]  That's right.

  The Inspector : They might. But it's better to ask for the earth than to take it.
