More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
I loathe the mess of mean superstitions and misunderstood prophecies which is still rammed down the throats of children under the name of Christianity.
George Bernard Shaw
It's usually pointed out that women are not fit for political power, and ought not to be trusted with a vote because they are politically ignorant, socially prejudiced, narrow-minded, and selfish. True enough, but precisely the same is true of men!
George Bernard Shaw
The more ignorant men are, the more convinced are they that their little parish and their little chapel is an apex to which civilization and philosophy has painfully struggled up the pyramid of time from a desert of savagery.
George Bernard Shaw
Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.
George Bernard Shaw
Life would be tolerable but for its amusements.
George Bernard Shaw
Some persons, by hating vice too much, come to love men too little. Hatred is self-punishment. Hatred is the cowards revenge for being intimidated.
George Bernard Shaw
Very nice sort of place, Oxford, I should think, for people that like that sort of place.
George Bernard Shaw
This planet is obviously being used as an insane asylum by other planets.
George Bernard Shaw
I aint such a mug as to put up my children to all I know myself.
George Bernard Shaw
Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family. But here again, because there is nothing to sell, there is a very general disposition to regard a married woman's work as no work at all, and to take it as a matter of course that she should not be paid for it.
George Bernard Shaw
If all the Churches of Europe closed their doors until the drums ceased rolling they would act as a most powerful reminder that though the glory of war is a famous and ancient glory, it is not the final glory of God.
George Bernard Shaw
What we are confronted with now is a growing perception that if we desire a certain type of civilization and culture we must exterminate the sort of people who do not fit into it.
George Bernard Shaw
Shall I turn up the light for you? No, give me deeper darkness. Money is not made in the light.
George Bernard Shaw
When a man teaches something he does not know to somebody else who has no aptitude for it, and gives him a certificate of proficiency, the latter has completed the education of a gentleman.
George Bernard Shaw
Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that men never learn anything from history.
George Bernard Shaw
O Lord! I don't know which is the worst of the country, the walking or the sitting at home with nothing to do.
George Bernard Shaw
The perfect love affair is one which is conducted entirely by post.
George Bernard Shaw
Assassination is the extreme form of censorship.
George Bernard Shaw
The most intolerable pain is produced by prolonging the keenest pleasure.
George Bernard Shaw
Without danger I cannot be great. That is how I pay for Abel's blood. Danger and fear follow my steps everywhere. Without them courage would have no sense. And it is courage, courage, courage that raises the blood of life to crimson splendor.
George Bernard Shaw
