No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.
George Bernard Shaw
If you must hold yourself up to your children as an object lesson, hold yourself up as a warning and not as an example.
George Bernard Shaw
A thing that nobody believes cannot be proved too often.
George Bernard Shaw
Music is the brandy of the damned.
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

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
The sound body is the product of the sound mind.
George Bernard Shaw
Besides, do any of us understand what we are doing? If we did, would we ever do it?
George Bernard Shaw
The one point on which all women are in furious secret rebellion against the existing law is the saddling of the right to a child with the obligation to become the servant of a man.
George Bernard Shaw
It is assumed that the woman must wait, motionless, until she is wooed. That is how the spider waits for the fly.
George Bernard Shaw
He never does a proper thing without giving an improper reason for it.
George Bernard Shaw
You are my inspiration and my folly. You are my light across the sea, my million nameless joys, and my day's wage. You are my divinity, my madness, my selfishness, my transfiguration and purification. You are my rapscallionly fellow vagabond, my tempter and star. I want you.
George Bernard Shaw
Fear is choosing the safe course
George Bernard Shaw
All classes in proportion to their lack of travel and familiarity with foreign literature are bellicose, prejudiced against foreigners, fond of fighting as a cruel sport - in short, dog-like in their notions of foreign policy.
George Bernard Shaw
