More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
German and Spanish are accessible to foreigners: English is not accessible even to Englishmen.
George Bernard Shaw
The devil can quote Shakespeare for his own purpose.
George Bernard Shaw
I sold flowers. I didn't sell myself. Now you've made a lady of me I'm not fit to sell anything else.
George Bernard Shaw
If associations to control burglary and murder were tolerated we should take it for granted that the members should all be burglers and murderers.
George Bernard Shaw
You practically do not use semicolons at all. This is a symptom of mental defectiveness, probably induced by camp life.
George Bernard Shaw
You don't learn to hold your own in the world by standing on guard, but by attacking, and getting well hammered yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
I myself have been particularly careful never to say a civil word to the United States. I have scoffed at their inhabitants as a nation of villagers. I have defined the 100 % American as 99 % an idiot. And they adore me.
George Bernard Shaw
Kings are not born: they are made by artificial hallucination.
George Bernard Shaw
The more ignorant men are, the more convinced are they that their little parish and their little chapel is an apex to which civilization and philosophy has painfully struggled up the pyramid of time from a desert of savagery.
George Bernard Shaw
Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce greatpoetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.
George Bernard Shaw
What Englishman will give his mind to politics as long as he can afford to keep a motor car?
George Bernard Shaw
Every girl has a right to be loved.
George Bernard Shaw
Youth is just wasted on young people.
George Bernard Shaw
No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious.
George Bernard Shaw
There have been summits of civilization at which heretics like Socrates , who was killed because he was wiser than his neighbors, have not been tortured, but ordered to kill themselves in the most painless manner known to their judges. But from that summit there was a speedy relapse into our present savagery.
George Bernard Shaw
The only sensible person is my tailor. He measures me anew each time he sees me.
George Bernard Shaw
As well consult a butcher on the value of vegetarianism as a doctor on the worth of vaccination.
George Bernard Shaw
If you do not write for publication, there is little point in writing at all.
George Bernard Shaw
Vitality is a woman is a blind fury of creation.
George Bernard Shaw
Nietzche . . . he was a confirmed Life Force worshipper. It was he who raked up the Superman, who is as old as Prometheus and the 20th century will run after this newest of the old crazes when it gets tired of the world, the flesh, and your humble servant.
George Bernard Shaw
