More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
An author who gives a manager or publisher any rights in his work except those immediately and specifically required for its publication or performance is for business purposes an imbecile.
George Bernard Shaw
The world was to Shakespeare a great stage of fools on which he was utterly bewildered. His pregnant observations of life are not coordinated into any philosophy.
George Bernard Shaw
Schools and schoolmasters, as we have them today, are not popular as places of education and teachers, but rather prisons and turnkeys in which children are kept to prevent them disturbing and chaperoning their parent.
George Bernard Shaw
The moment we face it frankly we are driven to the conclusion that the community has a right to put a price on the right to live in it
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
The road to ignorance is paved with good editions. Only the illiterate can afford to buy good books now.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Stop being Jews and start being human beings.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Most people do not pray they only beg.
George Bernard Shaw
You are all fundamentalists with a top dressing of science. That is why you are the stupidest of conservatives and reactionists in politics and the most bigoted of obstructionists in science itself. When it comes to getting a move on you are all of the same opinion: stop it, flog it, hang it, dynamite it, stamp it out.
George Bernard Shaw
It is difficult, if not impossible, for most people to think otherwise than in the fashion of their own period.
George Bernard Shaw
Very nice sort of place, Oxford, I should think, for people that like that sort of place.
George Bernard Shaw
Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.
George Bernard Shaw
Justice is justice though it's always delayed and finally done only by mistake.
George Bernard Shaw
If all the statisticians in the world were laid head to toe, they wouldn't be able to reach a conclusion
George Bernard Shaw
A married man is a man with a past, while a bachelor is a man with a future.
George Bernard Shaw
I dislike feeling at home when I am abroad.
George Bernard Shaw
A man never tells you anything until you contradict him.
George Bernard Shaw
