George Bernard Shaw
Besides, do any of us understand what we are doing? If we did, would we ever do it?
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
Life is a first draft... with NO rewrite.
George Bernard Shaw
Get out of my way for I won't stop for you.
George Bernard Shaw
Hypocrisy ... is only bad when it is improperly used.
George Bernard Shaw
It exasperated her to think that the dungeon in which she had languished for so many unhappy years had been unlocked all the time, and that the impulses she had so carefully struggled with and stifled for the sake of keeping well with society, were precisely those by which alone she could have come into any sort of sincere human contact.
George Bernard Shaw
Lack of money is the root of of all evil.
George Bernard Shaw
To be in hell is to drift to be in heaven is to steer.
George Bernard Shaw
