George Bernard Shaw
What man really wishes to do he will find a means of doing.
George Bernard Shaw
In literature the ambition of the novice is to acquire the literary language the struggle of the adept is to get rid of it.
George Bernard Shaw
If you leave your art, the world will beat you back to it. The world has not an ambition worth sharing, or a prize worth handling.
George Bernard Shaw
All my life affection has been showered upon me, and every forward step I have made has been taken in spite of it.
George Bernard Shaw
Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.
George Bernard Shaw
A drama critic is a man who leaves no turn unstoned.
George Bernard Shaw
The road to ignorance is paved with good editions. Only the illiterate can afford to buy good books now.
George Bernard Shaw
