George Bernard Shaw
All great truths begin as blasphemies.
George Bernard Shaw
Justice is justice though it's always delayed and finally done only by mistake.
George Bernard Shaw
God made the world as an artist and that is why the world must learn from its artists.
George Bernard Shaw
The truth sticks in our throats with all the sauces it is served with: it will never go down until we take it without any sauce at all.
George Bernard Shaw
Though I can make my extravaganzas appear credible, I cannot make the truth appear so.
George Bernard Shaw
Though the Life Force supplies us with its own purpose, it has no other brains to work with than those it has painfully and imperfectly evolved in our heads.
George Bernard Shaw
