Only in the problem play is there any real drama, because drama is no mere setting up of the camera to nature: it is the presentation in parable of the conflict between Man's will and his environment: in a word, of problem.
George Bernard Shaw
There is only one person an English girl hates more than she hates her elder sister and that is her mother.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing can save us from a perpetual headlong fall into a bottomless abyss but a solid footing of dogma and we no sooner agree to that than we find that the only trustworthy dogma is that there is no dogma.
George Bernard Shaw
When it comes to the point, really bad men are just as rare as really good ones.
