More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Decency is indecency's conspiracy of silence
George Bernard Shaw
I finished my first book seventy-six years ago. I offered it to every publisher on the English-speaking earth I had ever heard of. Their refusals were unanimous: and it did not get into print until, fifty years later publishers would publish anything that had my name on it.
George Bernard Shaw
You don't expect me to know what to say about a play when I don't know who the author is, do you? . . . If it's by a good author, it's a good play, naturally. That stands to reason.
George Bernard Shaw
Altogether too many sheep
George Bernard Shaw
Self-denial is not a virtue it is only the effect of prudence on rascality.
George Bernard Shaw
Keep away from books and from men who get their ideas from books, and your own books will always be fresh.
George Bernard Shaw
Violence is the repartee of the illiterate.
George Bernard Shaw
When you find something funny search it for hidden truth.
George Bernard Shaw
The fickleness of the women I love is only equalled by the infernal constancy of the women who love me.
George Bernard Shaw
If associations to control burglary and murder were tolerated we should take it for granted that the members should all be burglers and murderers.
George Bernard Shaw
I am oppressed with a dread of living forever. That is the only disadvantage of vegetarianism.
George Bernard Shaw
It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.
George Bernard Shaw
I find it easy to forgive the man who invented a devilish instrument like dynamite, but how can one ever forgive the diabolical mind that invented the Nobel Prize in Literature?
George Bernard Shaw
No diet will remove all the fat from your body because the brain is entirely fat. Without a brain, you might look good, but all you could do is run for public office.
George Bernard Shaw
We have in England a curious belief in first-rate people, meaning all the people we do not know and this consoles us for the undeniable second-rateness of the people we do know.
George Bernard Shaw
Any belief worth having must survive doubt
George Bernard Shaw
The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can't find them, make them.
George Bernard Shaw
I myself have been particularly careful never to say a civil word to the United States. I have scoffed at their inhabitants as a nation of villagers. I have defined the 100 % American as 99 % an idiot. And they adore me.
George Bernard Shaw
Why not give Christianity a trial?
George Bernard Shaw
Be like the sun and meadow, which are not in the least concerned about the coming winter.
George Bernard Shaw
