More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Vitality is a woman is a blind fury of creation.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
You will think less of the art, when you know the artist
George Bernard Shaw
I have found, after a good deal of consideration, that the best place to seek God is in a garden. You can dig for Him here.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who talk most about the blessings of marriage and the constancy of its vows are the very people who declare that if the chain were broken and the prisoners left free to choose, the whole social fabric would fly asunder. You cannot have the argument both ways. If the prisoner is happy, why lock him in? If he is not, why pretend that he is?
George Bernard Shaw
Laws, religions, creeds, and systems of ethics, instead of making society better than its best unit, make it worse than its average unit, because they are never up to date.
George Bernard Shaw
A mind of the caliber of mine cannot derive its nutrient from cows.
George Bernard Shaw
Imprisonment, as it exists today, is a worse crime than any of those committed by its victims.
George Bernard Shaw
The one point on which all women are in furious secret rebellion against the existing law is the saddling of the right to a child with the obligation to become the servant of a man.
George Bernard Shaw
When God created man and woman, he did not take a patent. That's why any imbecile has been able to do so ever since.
George Bernard Shaw
Happiness and beauty are by-products. Folly is the direct pursuit of happiness and beauty.
George Bernard Shaw
Optimistic lies have such immense therapeutic value that a doctor who cannot tell them convincingly has mistaken his profession.
George Bernard Shaw
If the English can survive their food, they can survive anything.
George Bernard Shaw
Home life is no more natural to us than a cage is natural to a cockatoo.
George Bernard Shaw
The real Brahms is nothing more than a sentimental voluptuary. rather tiresomely addicted to dressing himself up as Handel or Beethoven and making a prolonged and intolerable noise.
George Bernard Shaw
The faults of the burglar are the qualities of the financier.
George Bernard Shaw
If I refuse to allow my leg to be amputated, its mortification and my death may prove that I was wrong but if I let the leg go, nobody can ever prove that it would not have mortified had I been obstinate. Operation is therefore the safe side for the surgeon as well as the lucrative side.
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
Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.
George Bernard Shaw
As people get their opinions so largely from the newspapers they read... But the Press is not free, the newspapers are owned by rich men.
George Bernard Shaw
