Bible worship, though at its best it may achieve sublimity by keeping its head in the skies, may also make itself both ridiculousand dangerous by having its feet off the ground.
George Bernard Shaw
Geniuses are horrid, intolerant, easily offended, sleeplessly self-conscious men, who expect their wives to be angels with no further business in life than to pet and worship their husbands. Even at the best they are not comfortable men to live with and a perfect husband is one who is perfectly comfortable to live with.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
If a woman rebels against high-heeled shoes, she should take care to do it in a very smart hat

George Bernard Shaw
Forgive him, for he believes that the customs of his tribe are the laws of nature!
George Bernard Shaw
All professions are conspiracies against the laity.
George Bernard Shaw
It is necessary for the welfare of society that genius should be privileged to utter sedition, to blaspheme, to outrage good taste, to corrupt the youthful mind, and generally to scandalize one's uncles.
George Bernard Shaw
Love is a simple thing and a deep thing: it is an act of life and not an illusion. Art is an illusion.
George Bernard Shaw
Independence? That's middle class blasphemy. We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.
George Bernard Shaw
