More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Every child has a right to its own bent. . . . It has a right to find its own way and go its own way, whether that way seems wise or foolish to others, exactly as an adult has. It has a right to privacy as to its own doings and its own affairs as much as if it were its own father.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

So I have just had an Xradiograph taken and lo! perfectly mended solid bone so beautifully white that I have left instructions that, if I die, a glove stretcher is to be made of me and sent to you as a souvenir
George Bernard Shaw
If you can't get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you'd best teach it to dance.
George Bernard Shaw
Some people look at the world and say 'why?' Some people look at the world and say 'why not?'
George Bernard Shaw
I was convinced that Ceylon is the cradle of the human race because everybody there looks an original. All other nations are obviously mass produced.
George Bernard Shaw
Old men are dangerous: it doesn't matter to them what is going to happen to the world.
George Bernard Shaw
When you prevent me from doing anything I want to do, that is persecution when I prevent you from doing anything you want to do, that is law, order, and morals.
