More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Islam is the best religion and Muslims are the worst followers
George Bernard Shaw
Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce greatpoetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.
George Bernard Shaw
Where there is no religion, hypocrisy becomes good taste.
George Bernard Shaw
Life levels all men. Death reveals the eminent.
George Bernard Shaw
An idea that no one believes can not be proved too often.
George Bernard Shaw
Instruction in sex is as important as instruction in food yet not only are our adolescents not taught the physiology of sex, but never warned that the strongest sexual attraction may exist between persons so incompatible in tastes and capacities that they could not endure living together for a week much less a lifetime.
George Bernard Shaw
We want a few mad people now. See where the sane ones have landed us!
George Bernard Shaw
People get nothing out of books but what they bring to them.
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
If all you are going to do in life are the things that are convenient and comfortable, the great things never get done.
George Bernard Shaw
Sister, you're trying to keep me alive as an old curiosity, but I'm done, I'm finished, I'm going to die.
George Bernard Shaw
A man never tells you anything until you contradict him.
George Bernard Shaw
Choose silence of all virtues, for by it you hear other men's imperfections, and conceal your own.
George Bernard Shaw
The public want actresses, because they think all actresses bad. They don't want music or poetry because they know that both are good. So actors and actresses thrive and poets and composers starve.
George Bernard Shaw
Freedom, my good girl, means being able to count on how other people will behave.
George Bernard Shaw
As long as I have a want, I have a reason for living. Satisfaction is death.
George Bernard Shaw
I learned more from the first stupid woman who fell in love with me than ever my brains taught me.
George Bernard Shaw
We should have had socialism already, but for the socialists, am quite willing to drop the name if dropping it will help me to get the thing.
George Bernard Shaw
Woman's happiness begins with her first love and ends about then
George Bernard Shaw
Liquor is the chloroform which enables the poor man to endure the painful operation of living.
George Bernard Shaw
