George Bernard Shaw
I finished my first book seventy-six years ago. I offered it to every publisher on the English-speaking earth I had ever heard of. Their refusals were unanimous: and it did not get into print until, fifty years later publishers would publish anything that had my name on it.
George Bernard Shaw
Style is effectiveness of assertion.
George Bernard Shaw
The nation's morals are like its teeth: the more decayed they are the more it hurts to touch them.
George Bernard Shaw
A man who has no office to go, to I don't care who he is, is a trial of which you can have no conception.
George Bernard Shaw
Set me anything to do as a task, and it is inconceivable the desire I have to do something else.
George Bernard Shaw
Hypocrisy ... is only bad when it is improperly used.
George Bernard Shaw
