More quotes by George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
A photographer is like a cod, which produces a million eggs in order that one may reach maturity.
George Bernard Shaw
This souls'prison we call England.
George Bernard Shaw
If we have come to think that the nursery and the kitchen are the natural sphere of a woman, we have done so exactly as English children come to think that a cage is the natural sphere of a parrot: because they have never seen one anywhere else.
George Bernard Shaw
The practical question, then, is what to do with the children. Tolerate them at home we will not. Let them run loose in the streets we dare not until our streets become safe places for children, which, to our utter shame, they are not at present, though they can hardly be worse than some homes and some schools.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
If all the economists were laid end to end, they'd never reach a conclusion.
George Bernard Shaw
It is ridiculous to say that art has nothing to do with morality. What is true is that the artist's business is not that of the policeman.
George Bernard Shaw
It is not the number of years we have behind us, but the number we have before us, that makes us careful and responsible and determined to find out the truth about everything.
George Bernard Shaw
All Artists are Anarchists.
George Bernard Shaw
There is nothing in religion but fiction.
George Bernard Shaw
The greatest thing in life is to die young - but delay it as long as possible.
George Bernard Shaw
Civilized society is one huge bourgeoisie: no nobleman dares now shock his greengrocer.
George Bernard Shaw
