George Bernard Shaw
Those who minister to poverty and disease are accomplices in the two worst of all the crimes.
George Bernard Shaw
For nearly twenty years I have been a published author... But I have never yet seen a book of mine offered for sale in a shop window.
George Bernard Shaw
A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.
George Bernard Shaw
I find it easy to forgive the man who invented a devilish instrument like dynamite, but how can one ever forgive the diabolical mind that invented the Nobel Prize in Literature?
George Bernard Shaw
Everything happens to everybody sooner or later if there is time enough.
George Bernard Shaw
All roads end at the grave, which is the gate to nothingness.
George Bernard Shaw
Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.
George Bernard Shaw
