George Bernard Shaw
It is ridiculous to say that art has nothing to do with morality. What is true is that the artist's business is not that of the policeman.
George Bernard Shaw
As I write, there is a craze for what is called psychoanalysis, or the cure of diseases by explaining to the patient what is the matter with him: an excellent plan if you happen to know what is the matter with him, especially when the explanation is that there is nothing the matter with him.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Imprisonment is as irrevocable as death.
George Bernard Shaw
There are only two classes in good society in England: the equestrian classes and the neurotic classes.
George Bernard Shaw
There is nothing so bad or so good that you will not find Englishmen doing it but you will never find an Englishman in the wrong. He does everything on principle.
George Bernard Shaw
Of the two lots, the woman's lot of perpetual motherhood, and the man's of perpetual babyhood, I prefer the man's.
George Bernard Shaw
Man is the only animals of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.
George Bernard Shaw
The goal of an artist is to create the definitive work that cannot be surpassed.
George Bernard Shaw
Nowadays a parlor maid as ignorant as Queen Victoria was when she came to the throne would be classed as mentally defective.
George Bernard Shaw
Financiers live in a world of illusion. They count on something which they call the capital of the country, which has no existence.
George Bernard Shaw
Happiness and beauty are by-products. Folly is the direct pursuit of happiness and beauty.
George Bernard Shaw
