George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Get married, but never to a man who is home all day.
George Bernard Shaw
All evolution in thought and conduct must at first appear as heresy and misconduct.
George Bernard Shaw
While we have prisons it matters little which of us occupy the cells.
George Bernard Shaw
No man can be a pure specialist without being in the strict sense an idiot.
George Bernard Shaw
With the exception of capitalism, there is nothing so revolting as revolution.
