More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Though I can make my extravaganzas appear credible, I cannot make the truth appear so.
George Bernard Shaw
It is impossible for an Englishman to open his mouth without making some other Englishman hate or despise him.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
I do not want to make my stomach a graveyard of dead animals.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
As I write, there is a craze for what is called psychoanalysis, or the cure of diseases by explaining to the patient what is the matter with him: an excellent plan if you happen to know what is the matter with him, especially when the explanation is that there is nothing the matter with him.
George Bernard Shaw
Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman, but believing what he read made him mad.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing is more dreadful than a husband who keeps telling you everything he thinks, and always wants to know what you think.
George Bernard Shaw
The American white relegates the black to the rank of shoeshine boy and he concludes from this that the black is good for nothing but shining shoes.
George Bernard Shaw
A man's own self is the last person to believe in him, and is harder to cheat than the rest of the world.
George Bernard Shaw
