George Bernard Shaw

Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.
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
Hypocrisy ... is only bad when it is improperly used.
George Bernard Shaw
We learn from history that we learn nothing from history.
George Bernard Shaw
Life contains but two tragedies. One is not to get your heart's desire the other is to get it.
