George Bernard Shaw
Martyrdom is the only path to immortality that requires no talent whatsoever.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
You will think less of the art, when you know the artist
George Bernard Shaw
The person who is ignorant enough to believe that his nourishment depends on meat is in a horrible dilemma.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who talk most about the blessings of marriage and the constancy of its vows are the very people who declare that if the chain were broken and the prisoners left free to choose, the whole social fabric would fly asunder. You cannot have the argument both ways. If the prisoner is happy, why lock him in? If he is not, why pretend that he is?
George Bernard Shaw
Capitalism justified itself and was adopted as an economic principle on the express ground that it provides selfish motives for doing good, and that human beings will do nothing except for selfish motives
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
