George Bernard Shaw
The thought of two thousand people crunching celery at the same time horrified me.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
We should find ourselves committed to killing a great many people whom we now leave living, and to leave living a great many people whom we at present kill. We should have to get rid of all ideas about capital punishment.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing can save us from a perpetual headlong fall into a bottomless abyss but a solid footing of dogma and we no sooner agree to that than we find that the only trustworthy dogma is that there is no dogma.
George Bernard Shaw
There are only two classes in good society in England: the equestrian classes and the neurotic classes.
George Bernard Shaw
The conversion of Paul was no conversion at all it was Paul who converted the religion that has raised one man above sin and death.
George Bernard Shaw
If we have come to think that the nursery and the kitchen are the natural sphere of a woman, we have done so exactly as English children come to think that a cage is the natural sphere of a parrot: because they have never seen one anywhere else.
George Bernard Shaw
It is ridiculous to say that art has nothing to do with morality. What is true is that the artist's business is not that of the policeman.
George Bernard Shaw
