More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
All the sweetness of religion is conveyed to the world by the hands of storytellers and image-makers. Without their fictions the truths of religion would for the multitude be neither intelligible nor even apprehensible and the prophets would prophesy and the teachers teach in vain.
George Bernard Shaw
I object to publishers: the one service they have done me is to teach me to do without them. They combine commercial rascality with artistic touchiness and pettishness, without being either good business men or fine judges of literature.
George Bernard Shaw
To be in hell is to drift to be in heaven is to steer.
George Bernard Shaw
Unless comedy touches me as well as amuses me, it leaves me with a sense of having wasted my evening. I go to the theatre to be moved to laughter, not to be tickled or bustled into it.
George Bernard Shaw
When the military man approaches, the world locks up its spoons and packs off its womankind.
George Bernard Shaw
History, sir, will tell lies as usual.
George Bernard Shaw
Write your Sad times in Sand, Write your Good times in Stone.

George Bernard Shaw
This is the true joy of life-the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown to the scrap-heap the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish clod of ailments and grievances.
George Bernard Shaw
How can you dare teach a man to read until you've taught him everything else first?
George Bernard Shaw
I sold flowers. I didn't sell myself. Now you've made a lady of me I'm not fit to sell anything else.
George Bernard Shaw
If all you are going to do in life are the things that are convenient and comfortable, the great things never get done.
George Bernard Shaw
The most intolerable pain is produced by prolonging the keenest pleasure.
George Bernard Shaw
He who confuses political liberty with freedom and political equality with similarity has never thought for five minutes about either.
George Bernard Shaw
A man of my spiritual intensity does not eat corpses.
George Bernard Shaw
A socialist is somebody who doesn't have anything, and is ready to divide it up equally among everybody.
George Bernard Shaw
