More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
This planet is obviously being used as an insane asylum by other planets.
George Bernard Shaw
To be in hell is to drift to be in heaven is to steer.
George Bernard Shaw
As an old soldier, I admit the cowardice: it's as universal as seasickness, and matters just as little.
George Bernard Shaw
Do not try to live forever. You will not succeed.
George Bernard Shaw
Geniuses are horrid, intolerant, easily offended, sleeplessly self-conscious men, who expect their wives to be angels with no further business in life than to pet and worship their husbands.

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
It is assumed that the woman must wait, motionless, until she is wooed. That is how the spider waits for the fly.
George Bernard Shaw
Pasteboard pies and paper flowers are being banished from the stage by the growth of that power of accurate observation which is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it...
George Bernard Shaw
Besides, do any of us understand what we are doing? If we did, would we ever do it?
George Bernard Shaw
From a very early age, I've had to interrupt my education to go to school.
George Bernard Shaw
The most revolutionary invention of the Nineteenth Century was the artificial sterilization of marriage.
George Bernard Shaw
All evolution in thought and conduct must at first appear as heresy and misconduct.
George Bernard Shaw
Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.
George Bernard Shaw
