George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Besides, do any of us understand what we are doing? If we did, would we ever do it?
George Bernard Shaw
Our lives are shaped not as much by our experiences as by our expectations.
George Bernard Shaw
As 99 per cent of English authors and 100 per cent of American ones [authors] are just such imbeciles, managers and publishers make a practice of asking for every right the author possesses.
George Bernard Shaw
Imprisonment is as irrevocable as death.
George Bernard Shaw
All dress is fancy dress, is it not, except our natural skins?

It's a pity youth is wasted on the young.
George Bernard Shaw
