George Bernard Shaw
I work as my father drank.
George Bernard Shaw
Imprisonment, as it exists today, is a worse crime than any of those committed by its victims.

George Bernard Shaw

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
This is the true joy of life-the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown to the scrap-heap the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish clod of ailments and grievances.
George Bernard Shaw
He who has nothing to assert has no style and can have none: he who has something to assert will go as far in power of style as its momentousness and his conviction will carry him
George Bernard Shaw
