More quotes by George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Let no one suppose that the words doctor and patient can disguise from the parties the fact that they are employer and employee.
George Bernard Shaw
What is both surprising and delightful is that the spectators are allowed, and even expected, to join in the vocal part of the game...There is no reason why the field should not try to put the batsman off his stroke at the critical moment by neatly timed disparagements of his wife's fidelity and his mother's respectability.
George Bernard Shaw
We are told that when Jehovah created the world he saw that it was good what would he say now
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
To a professional critic (I have been one myself) theatre-going is the curse of Adam. The play is the evil he is paid to endure in the sweat of his brow and the sooner it is over, the better.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Financiers live in a world of illusion. They count on something which they call the capital of the country, which has no existence.
George Bernard Shaw
It is doubtless wise, when a reform is introduced, to try to persuade the British public that it is not a reform at all but appearances must be kept up to some extent at least.
George Bernard Shaw
I do not want to make my stomach a graveyard of dead animals.
George Bernard Shaw
Poverty does not produce unhappiness: It produces degradation.
George Bernard Shaw
A photographer is like a cod, which produces a million eggs in order that one may reach maturity.
George Bernard Shaw
He who has nothing to assert has no style and can have none: he who has something to assert will go as far in power of style as its momentousness and his conviction will carry him
George Bernard Shaw
Just as I cannot remember any time when I could not read and write, I cannot remember any time when I did not exercise my imagination in daydreams about women.
George Bernard Shaw
Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else.
George Bernard Shaw
