More quotes by George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
There are some experiences in life which should not be demanded twice from any man, and one of them is listening to the Brahms Requiem.
George Bernard Shaw
In gambling the many must lose in order that the few may win.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
There is nothing on earth more exquisite than a bonny book, with well-placed columns of rich black writing in beautiful borders, and illuminated pictures cunningly inset. But nowadays, instead of looking at books, people read them. A book might as well be one of those orders for bacon and bran.
George Bernard Shaw
Vitality is a woman is a blind fury of creation.
George Bernard Shaw
Our lives are shaped not as much by our experiences as by our expectations.
George Bernard Shaw
There may be some doubt as to who are the best people to have charge of children, but there can be no doubt that parents are the worst.
George Bernard Shaw
Heartbreak is life educating us.
George Bernard Shaw
Morality consists of suspecting other people of not being legally married.
George Bernard Shaw
When the horrors of anarchy force us to set up laws that forbid us to fight and torture one another for sport, we still snatch at every excuse for declaring individuals outside the protection of law and torturing them to our hearts content.
George Bernard Shaw
New opinions often appear first as jokes and fancies, then as blasphemies and treason, then as questions open to discussion, and finally as established truths.
George Bernard Shaw
There is only one person an English girl hates more than she hates her elder sister and that is her mother.
George Bernard Shaw
