About This Quote
George Bernard Shaw is known for writing plays and novels. However, the quote, “If I were a tree, I would have no reason to love a human.” comes from his 1893 play called The Doctor’s Dilemma. The play was about a doctor who is forced to kill his wife because he is unable to find another cure for her illness. This quote shows that the doctor is trying to find a cure for his wife just as much as she is trying to find one for herself.
