George Bernard Shaw
Women have been a ghastly nuisance in my life.
George Bernard Shaw
In a living society every day is a day of judgment and its recognition as such is not the end of all things but the beginning ofa real civilization.

We all go about longing for love: it is the first need of our natures, the loudest cry of our hearts.

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
We are the masters at the moment, and not only at the moment, but for a very long time to come.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
There is no sincerer love than the love of food.
George Bernard Shaw
The thought of two thousand people crunching celery at the same time horrified me.
George Bernard Shaw
Men trifle with their business and their politics but never trifle with their games. It brings truth home to them. They cannot pretend they have won when they have lost nor that they had a magnificent drive when they foozled it. The Englishman is at his best on the links and at his worst in the Cabinet.
George Bernard Shaw
