More quotes by 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
My heart, my heart, be whole and free: Love is thine only enemy.
George Bernard Shaw
It is doubtless wise, when a reform is introduced, to try to persuade the British public that it is not a reform at all but appearances must be kept up to some extent at least.
George Bernard Shaw
Bible worship, though at its best it may achieve sublimity by keeping its head in the skies, may also make itself both ridiculousand dangerous by having its feet off the ground.
George Bernard Shaw
Happiness and Beauty are by-products.
George Bernard Shaw
Never fret for an only son, the idea of failure will never occur to him.
George Bernard Shaw
Every child has a right to its own bent. . . . It has a right to find its own way and go its own way, whether that way seems wise or foolish to others, exactly as an adult has. It has a right to privacy as to its own doings and its own affairs as much as if it were its own father.
George Bernard Shaw
Property is organized robbery.
George Bernard Shaw
I prefer the man who calls his nonsense a mystery to him who who pretends it is a weighed, measured, analyzed fact.
George Bernard Shaw
Violence is the repartee of the illiterate.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
The truth is, hardly any of us have ethical energy enough for more than one really inflexible point of honor.
George Bernard Shaw
Rebecca [West] can handle a pen as brilliantly as ever I could and much more savagely.
George Bernard Shaw
To a professional critic (I have been one myself) theatre-going is the curse of Adam. The play is the evil he is paid to endure in the sweat of his brow and the sooner it is over, the better.
George Bernard Shaw
Love is a simple thing and a deep thing: it is an act of life and not an illusion. Art is an illusion.
George Bernard Shaw
Instead of Otello being an Italian opera written in the style of Shakespeare, Othello is a play written by Shakespeare in the style of Italian opera.
George Bernard Shaw
Be like the sun and meadow, which are not in the least concerned about the coming winter.
George Bernard Shaw
Most people go to their grave with their music inside them.
George Bernard Shaw
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world the unreasonable one persists to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw
There is nothing in religion but fiction.
George Bernard Shaw
