George Bernard Shaw
Violence is the repartee of the illiterate.
George Bernard Shaw
Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny they have only shifted it to another shoulder.
George Bernard Shaw
The medical profession (is) a conspiracy to hide its own shortcomings. No doubt the same may be said of all professions. They are all conspiracies against the laity... (U)ntil there is a practicable alternative to blind trust in the doctor, the truth about the doctor is so terrible that we dare not face it.
George Bernard Shaw
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
He who has nothing to assert has no style and can have none: he who has something to assert will go as far in power of style as its momentousness and his conviction will carry him
George Bernard Shaw
Do not mistake your objection to defeat for an objection to fighting, your objection to being a slave for an objection to slavery, your objection to not being as rich as your neighbor for an objection to poverty. The cowardly, the insubordinate, and the envious share your objections.
George Bernard Shaw
The natural term of the affection of the human animal for its offspring is six years.
George Bernard Shaw
Get married, but never to a man who is home all day.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Civilization is a disease produced by the practice of building societies with rotten material.
George Bernard Shaw
All great art and literature is propaganda.
George Bernard Shaw
First really like is just a little bit foolishness as well as a lot of curiosity. No actually self-respecting girl would reap the benefits of it.
George Bernard Shaw
Where there is no knowledge ignorance calls itself science.
George Bernard Shaw
When it comes to the point, really bad men are just as rare as really good ones.
George Bernard Shaw
Unless the people can choose their leaders and rulers, and can revoke their choice at intervals long enough to test their measuresby results, the government will be a tyranny exercised in the interests of whatever classes or castes or mobs or cliques have this choice.
George Bernard Shaw
The person I miss most is the one I could have been.
George Bernard Shaw
