George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
The moment we face it frankly we are driven to the conclusion that the community has a right to put a price on the right to live in it
George Bernard Shaw
The perfect love affair is one which is conducted entirely by post.
George Bernard Shaw
Now of all the idealist abominations that make society pestiferous I doubt if there be any so mean as that of forcing self-sacrifice on a woman under the pretense that she likes it.
George Bernard Shaw
For nearly twenty years I have been a published author... But I have never yet seen a book of mine offered for sale in a shop window.
George Bernard Shaw
It's a pity youth is wasted on the young.
George Bernard Shaw
It is nearly 50 years since I was assured by a conclave of doctors that if I did not eat meat I should die of starvation.
George Bernard Shaw
