George Bernard Shaw
My rank is the highest known in Switzerland: I'm a free citizen.

And whatever can degrade a neighborhood can degrade a country and a continent and finally the whole civilized world, which is only a large neighborhood.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
I don't want to talk grammar. I want to talk like a lady.
George Bernard Shaw
A part of eugenic politics would finally land us in an extensive use of the lethal chamber. A great many people would have to be put out of existence simply because it wastes other people's time to look after them.
George Bernard Shaw
Every profession is a conspiracy against the laity.
George Bernard Shaw
With the exception of capitalism, there is nothing so revolting as revolution.
George Bernard Shaw
We all go about longing for love: it is the first need of our natures, the loudest cry of our hearts.
George Bernard Shaw
If there was twenty ways of telling the truth and only one way of telling a lie, the Government would find it out. It's in the nature of governments to tell lies.
George Bernard Shaw
Imprisonment, as it exists today, is a worse crime than any of those committed by its victims.
George Bernard Shaw
