George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Vulgarity is a necessary part of a complete author's equipment and the clown is sometimes the best part of the circus.
George Bernard Shaw
We have in England a curious belief in first-rate people, meaning all the people we do not know and this consoles us for the undeniable second-rateness of the people we do know.
George Bernard Shaw
Life is a disease and the only difference between on man and another is the stage of the disease at which he lives.
George Bernard Shaw
When a lion meets another with a louder roar, the first lion thinks the last a bore.
