More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.
George Bernard Shaw
All Artists are Anarchists.
George Bernard Shaw
During the last considerable epidemic at the turn of the century, I was a member of the Health Committee of London Borough Council, and I learned how the credit of vaccination is kept up statistically by diagnosing all the revaccinated cases (of smallpox) as pustular eczema, varioloid or what not---except smallpox.
George Bernard Shaw
It is ridiculous to say that art has nothing to do with morality. What is true is that the artist's business is not that of the policeman.
George Bernard Shaw
We are the living graves of murdered beasts, slaughtered to satisfy our appetites. How can we hope in this world to attain the peace we say we are so anxious for?
George Bernard Shaw
Live in contact with dreams and you will get something of their charm: live in contact with facts and you will get something of their brutality. I wish I could find a country to live in where the facts were not brutal and the dreams not real.
George Bernard Shaw
What is both surprising and delightful is that the spectators are allowed, and even expected, to join in the vocal part of the game...There is no reason why the field should not try to put the batsman off his stroke at the critical moment by neatly timed disparagements of his wife's fidelity and his mother's respectability.
George Bernard Shaw
The chief objection to playing wind instruments is that it prolongs the life of the player.
George Bernard Shaw
I am a brigand: I live by robbing the rich.' 'I am a gentleman: I live by robbing the poor.
George Bernard Shaw
The whole strength of England lies in the fact that the enormous majority of the English people are snobs.
George Bernard Shaw
The doctor learns that if he gets ahead of the superstitions of his patients he is a ruined man and the result is that he instinctively takes care not to get ahead of them.
George Bernard Shaw
The public want actresses, because they think all actresses bad. They don't want music or poetry because they know that both are good. So actors and actresses thrive and poets and composers starve.
George Bernard Shaw
Happiness and beauty are by-products. Folly is the direct pursuit of happiness and beauty.
George Bernard Shaw
A serious illness or a death advertises the doctor exactly as a hanging advertises the barrister who defended the person hanged.
George Bernard Shaw
Every man deserves to be judged in the context of his times.
George Bernard Shaw
The unconscious self is the real genius. Your breathing goes wrong the moment your conscious self meddles with it.
George Bernard Shaw
A man ought to be able to be fond of his wife without making a fool of himself about her.
George Bernard Shaw
Time enough to think of the future when you haven't any future to think of.
George Bernard Shaw
I make a fortune from criticizing the policy of the government, and then hand it over to the government in taxes to keep it going.
George Bernard Shaw
It is a woman's business to get married as soon as possible, and a man's to keep unmarried as long as he can.
George Bernard Shaw
