More quotes by 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
We throw the whole drudgery of creation on one sex, and then imply that no female of any delicacy would initiate any effort in that direction.
George Bernard Shaw
Most people go to their grave with their music inside them.
George Bernard Shaw
Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family. But here again, because there is nothing to sell, there is a very general disposition to regard a married woman's work as no work at all, and to take it as a matter of course that she should not be paid for it.
George Bernard Shaw
A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.
George Bernard Shaw
The Englishmen is at his best on the links and at his worst in the Cabinet.
George Bernard Shaw
Very nice sort of place, Oxford, I should think, for people that like that sort of place.
George Bernard Shaw
There is no sincerer love than the love of food.
George Bernard Shaw
You can feel nothing but a torment, and believe nothing but a lie. You will not raise your head to look at all the miracles of life that surround you but you will run ten miles to see a fight or a death.
George Bernard Shaw
The unconscious self is the real genius. Your breathing goes wrong the moment your conscious self meddles with it.
George Bernard Shaw
Audacious ribald: your laughter will finish in hideous boredom before morning.
George Bernard Shaw
Vivisection is a social evil because if it advances human knowledge, it does so at the expense of human character.
George Bernard Shaw
You do not settle whether an argument is justified by merely showing that it is of some use. The distinction is not between useful and useless experiments but between barbarous and civilized behaviour. Vivisection is a social evil because if it advances human knowledge, it does so at the expense of human character.
George Bernard Shaw
A critic is one who leaves no turn unstoned.
George Bernard Shaw
Hate is the revenge of a coward intimidated.
George Bernard Shaw
In a living society every day is a day of judgment and its recognition as such is not the end of all things but the beginning ofa real civilization.
George Bernard Shaw
Heartbreak is life educating us.
George Bernard Shaw
Just as I cannot remember any time when I could not read and write, I cannot remember any time when I did not exercise my imagination in daydreams about women.
George Bernard Shaw
Live in contact with dreams and you will get something of their charm: live in contact with facts and you will get something of their brutality. I wish I could find a country to live in where the facts were not brutal and the dreams not real.
George Bernard Shaw
A man never tells you anything until you contradict him.
George Bernard Shaw
