George Bernard Shaw
We must always think about things, and we must think about things as they are, not as they are said to be.
George Bernard Shaw

Women have been a ghastly nuisance in my life.
George Bernard Shaw
Get married, but never to a man who is home all day.
George Bernard Shaw
Marriage is popular because it combines the maximum of temptation with the maximum of opportunity.
George Bernard Shaw
Vulgarity is a necessary part of a complete author's equipment and the clown is sometimes the best part of the circus.
George Bernard Shaw
When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty.
George Bernard Shaw
The person who is ignorant enough to believe that his nourishment depends on meat is in a horrible dilemma.
George Bernard Shaw
I was told that my diet was so poor that I could not repair the bones that were broken and operated on. So I have just had an Xradiograph taken and lo! perfectly mended solid bone so beautifully white that I have left instructions that, if I die, a glove stretcher is to be made of me and sent to you as a souvenir
George Bernard Shaw
