You can feel nothing but a torment, and believe nothing but a lie. You will not raise your head to look at all the miracles of life that surround you but you will run ten miles to see a fight or a death.

George Bernard Shaw
It is easy - terribly easy - to shake a man's faith in himself. To take advantage of that to break a man's spirit is devil's work.
George Bernard Shaw

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

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
I've posed nude for a photographer in the manner of Rodin's Thinker, but I merely looked constipated.
George Bernard Shaw
No man can be a pure specialist without being in the strict sense an idiot.
George Bernard Shaw
The joy in life is to be used for a purpose. I want to be used up when I die.
George Bernard Shaw
You can always tell an old soldier by the inside of his holsters and cartridge boxes. The young ones carry pistols and cartridges the old ones, grub.
George Bernard Shaw
God made the world as an artist and that is why the world must learn from its artists.
George Bernard Shaw
I really don't think I could consent to go to Heaven if I thought there were no animals there.
George Bernard Shaw
Everyone can see that the people who hunt are the right people and the people who don't are the wrong ones.
George Bernard Shaw
Poverty does not produce unhappiness: It produces degradation.
George Bernard Shaw
