More quotes by George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
It is not pleasure that makes life worth living. It is life that makes pleasure worth having.
George Bernard Shaw
Life contains but two tragedies. One is not to get your heart's desire the other is to get it.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
It's usually pointed out that women are not fit for political power, and ought not to be trusted with a vote because they are politically ignorant, socially prejudiced, narrow-minded, and selfish. True enough, but precisely the same is true of men!
George Bernard Shaw
God made the world as an artist and that is why the world must learn from its artists.
George Bernard Shaw
Those who understand the steam engine and the electric telegraph spend their lives in trying to replace them with something better.
George Bernard Shaw
There is no satisfaction in hanging a man who does not object to it.

George Bernard Shaw
Audacious ribald: your laughter will finish in hideous boredom before morning.
George Bernard Shaw
A pornographic novelist is one who exploits the sexual instinct as a prostitute does. A legitimate sex novel elucidates it or brings out its poetry, tragedy, or comedy.
George Bernard Shaw
He never does a proper thing without giving an improper reason for it.
George Bernard Shaw
As to spelling the very frequent word though with six letters instead of two, it is impossible to discuss it, as it is outside the range of common sanity. In comparison such a monstrosity as phlegm for flem is merely disgusting.
George Bernard Shaw
