George Bernard Shaw
Audacious ribald: your laughter will finish in hideous boredom before morning.
George Bernard Shaw
Just as I cannot remember any time when I could not read and write, I cannot remember any time when I did not exercise my imagination in daydreams about women.
George Bernard Shaw
Happiness and Beauty are by-products.
George Bernard Shaw
The function of the actor is to make the audience imagine for the moment that real things are happening to real people.
George Bernard Shaw
Consistency is the enemy of enterprise, just as symmetry is the enemy of art.
