George Bernard Shaw
Captain Shotover: How much does your soul eat? Ellie: Oh, a lot. It eats music and pictures and books and mountains and lakes and beautiful things to wear and nice people to be with.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
If only for a half hour a day, a child should do something serviceable to the community
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Let a short Act of Parliament be passed, placing all street musicians outside the protection of the law, so that any citizen may assail them with stones, sticks, knives, pistols or bombs without incurring any penalties.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing soothes me more after a long and maddening course of pianoforte recitals than to sit and have my teeth drilled.
George Bernard Shaw
If you can’t appreciate what you’ve got, you’d better get what you can appreciate.
George Bernard Shaw
In heaven an angel is nobody in particular.
George Bernard Shaw
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake.
George Bernard Shaw
Doing what needs to be done may not make you happy, but it will make you great.
George Bernard Shaw
I am a Christian. That obliges me to be a Communist.
George Bernard Shaw
After all, the wrong road always leads somewhere.
George Bernard Shaw
