More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Those who talk most about the blessings of marriage and the constancy of its vows are the very people who declare that if the chain were broken and the prisoners left free to choose, the whole social fabric would fly asunder. You cannot have the argument both ways. If the prisoner is happy, why lock him in? If he is not, why pretend that he is?
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
There is nothing in religion but fiction.
George Bernard Shaw
I'm one of the undeserving poor: that's what I am. Think of what that means to a man. It means that he's up agen middle class morality all the time.... What is middle class morality? Just an excuse for never giving me anything.
George Bernard Shaw
When God created man and woman, he did not take a patent. That's why any imbecile has been able to do so ever since.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
If I refuse to allow my leg to be amputated, its mortification and my death may prove that I was wrong but if I let the leg go, nobody can ever prove that it would not have mortified had I been obstinate. Operation is therefore the safe side for the surgeon as well as the lucrative side.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing can save us from a perpetual headlong fall into a bottomless abyss but a solid footing of dogma and we no sooner agree to that than we find that the only trustworthy dogma is that there is no dogma.
George Bernard Shaw
We are told that when Jehovah created the world he saw that it was good what would he say now
George Bernard Shaw
A revolutionist is one who desires to discard the existing social order and try another.
George Bernard Shaw
Not everybody is strong enough to endure life without an anesthetic. Drink probably averts more gross crime than it causes.
George Bernard Shaw
I dislike feeling at home when I am abroad.
George Bernard Shaw
The sound body is the product of the sound mind.
George Bernard Shaw
Taxes are the chief business of a conqueror of the world.
George Bernard Shaw
The one point on which all women are in furious secret rebellion against the existing law is the saddling of the right to a child with the obligation to become the servant of a man.
George Bernard Shaw
Bourgeois morality is largely a system of making cheap virtues a cloak for expensive vices.
George Bernard Shaw
The danger of crippling thought, the danger of obstructing the formation of the public mind by specially suppressing ... representations is far greater than any real danger that there is from such representations.
George Bernard Shaw
