George Bernard Shaw
Remember that the progress of the world depends on your knowing better than your elders.
George Bernard Shaw
Any sort of plain speaking is better than the nauseous sham good fellowship our democratic public men get up for shop use.
George Bernard Shaw
A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.

Nothing is more dreadful than a husband who keeps telling you everything he thinks, and always wants to know what you think.
George Bernard Shaw
