More quotes by 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
You have nothing to do but mention the quantum theory, and people will take your voice for the voice of science, and belive anything.
George Bernard Shaw
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake.
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.

A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Any man who is not a communist at the age of twenty is a fool. Any man who is still a communist at the age of thirty is an even bigger fool.
George Bernard Shaw
What right has any human being to talk of bringing up a child? You do not bring up a tree or a plant. It brings itself up. You have to give it a fair chance by tilling the soil.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Imprisonment is as irrevocable as death.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
I'm an atheist and I thank God for it.
George Bernard Shaw
The medical profession (is) a conspiracy to hide its own shortcomings. No doubt the same may be said of all professions. They are all conspiracies against the laity... (U)ntil there is a practicable alternative to blind trust in the doctor, the truth about the doctor is so terrible that we dare not face it.
George Bernard Shaw
The goal of an artist is to create the definitive work that cannot be surpassed.
George Bernard Shaw
Leisure may be defined as free activity, labor as compulsory activity. Leisure does what it likes, labor does what it must, the compulsion being that of Nature, which in these latitudes leaves men no choice between labor and starvation.
George Bernard Shaw
All great truths begin as blasphemies.
George Bernard Shaw
The chief objection to playing wind instruments is that it prolongs the life of the player.
George Bernard Shaw
I find that socialism is often misunderstood by its least intelligent supporters and opponents to mean simply unrestrained indulgence of our natural propensity to heave bricks at respectable persons.
George Bernard Shaw
Better see rightly on a pound a week than squint on a million.
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
