More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Now of all the idealist abominations that make society pestiferous I doubt if there be any so mean as that of forcing self-sacrifice on a woman under the pretense that she likes it.
George Bernard Shaw
Here there is no hope, and consequently no duty, no work, nothing to be gained by praying, nothing to be lost by doing what you like. Hell, in short, is a place where you have nothing to do but amuse yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
My heart, my heart, be whole and free: Love is thine only enemy.
George Bernard Shaw
If all the statisticians in the world were laid head to toe, they wouldn't be able to reach a conclusion
George Bernard Shaw
The public want actresses, because they think all actresses bad. They don't want music or poetry because they know that both are good. So actors and actresses thrive and poets and composers starve.
George Bernard Shaw
When we know what God is, we shall be gods ourselves.
George Bernard Shaw
If there was twenty ways of telling the truth and only one way of telling a lie, the Government would find it out. It's in the nature of governments to tell lies.
George Bernard Shaw
All progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw
It is not that I am so clever it is that everyone else is so stupid.
George Bernard Shaw
Oh, well, if you want original conversations, you'd better go and talk to yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
You cannot have power for good without having power for evil too. Even mother's milk nourishes murderers as well as heroes.
George Bernard Shaw
When a man wants to murder a tiger he calls it sport when a tiger wants to murder him he calls it ferocity.
George Bernard Shaw
It was from Handel that I learned that style consists in force of assertion.
George Bernard Shaw
We know now that the soul is the body, and the body the soul. They tell us they are different because they want to persuade us that we can keep our souls if we let them make slaves of our bodies.
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 learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.
George Bernard Shaw
German and Spanish are accessible to foreigners: English is not accessible even to Englishmen.
George Bernard Shaw
Life would be tolerable but for its amusements.
George Bernard Shaw
If you take too long in deciding what to do with your life, you'll find you've done it.
George Bernard Shaw
I loathe the mess of mean superstitions and misunderstood prophecies which is still rammed down the throats of children under the name of Christianity.
George Bernard Shaw
