More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
I have my own soul. My own spark of divine fire.
George Bernard Shaw
Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.
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
A vegetarian is not a person who lives on vegetables, any more than a Catholic is a person who lives on cats.
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
The vilest abortionist is he who attempts to mould a child's character.
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
A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time. When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, The one I feed the most.
George Bernard Shaw
A contract for better for worse is a contract that should not be tolerated.
George Bernard Shaw
I do not want actors and actresses to understand my plays. That is not necessary. If they will only pronounce the correct sounds I can guarantee the results.
George Bernard Shaw
I am afraid we must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy.
George Bernard Shaw
We are not taught to think decently on sex subjects, and consequently we have no language for them except indecent language.
George Bernard Shaw
