More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Give women the vote, and in five years there will be a crushing tax on bachelors.
George Bernard Shaw
Where equality is undisputed, so also is subordination.
George Bernard Shaw
Whenever you wish to do anything against the law, Cicely, always consult a good solicitor first.
George Bernard Shaw
Property, said Proudhon, is theft. This is the only perfect truism that has been uttered on the subject.
George Bernard Shaw
The public want actresses, because they think all actresses bad. They don't want music or poetry because they know that both are good. So actors and actresses thrive and poets and composers starve.
George Bernard Shaw
I like a bit of mongrel myself, whether it's a man or a dog.
George Bernard Shaw
Woman's happiness begins with her first love and ends about then
George Bernard Shaw
You don't get tired of muffins, but you don't find inspiration in them.
George Bernard Shaw
A dinner! How horrible! I am to be made the pretext for killing all those wretched animals and birds, and fish! Thank you for nothing. Now if it were to be a fast instead of a feast say a solemn three days' abstention from corpses in my honour, I could at least pretend to believe that it was disinterested. Blood sacrifices are not in my line
George Bernard Shaw
You may well ask me why...I took the time to write [books]. I can only reply that I do not know. There was no why about it. I had to: that was all.
George Bernard Shaw
All great truths begin as blasphemies.
George Bernard Shaw
The quality of a play is the quality of its ideas.
George Bernard Shaw
After studying the Hungarian language for years, I can confidently conclude that had Hungarian been my mother tongue, it would have been more precious. Simply because through this extraordinary, ancient and powerful language it is possible to precisely describe the tiniest differences and the most secretive tremors of emotions.
George Bernard Shaw
Our ideals, like the gods of old, are constantly demanding human sacrifices.
George Bernard Shaw
We must all share in the evils of the world or move to another planet.
George Bernard Shaw
Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.
George Bernard Shaw
We know now that the soul is the body, and the body the soul. They tell us they are different because they want to persuade us that we can keep our souls if we let them make slaves of our bodies.
George Bernard Shaw
We are sick of war, we don't want to fight, And yet we gorge ourselves upon the dead.
George Bernard Shaw
A married man forms married habits and becomes dependent on marriage just as a sailor becomes dependent on the sea.
George Bernard Shaw
Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family. But here again, because there is nothing to sell, there is a very general disposition to regard a married woman's work as no work at all, and to take it as a matter of course that she should not be paid for it.
George Bernard Shaw
