More quotes by George Bernard Shaw
We want a few mad people now. See where the sane ones have landed us!
George Bernard Shaw
The notion that the colonel need be a better man than the private is as confused as the notion that the keystone need be stronger than the coping stone.
George Bernard Shaw
People have pointed out evidences of personal feeling in my notices as if they were accusing me of a misdemeanor, not knowing that criticism written without personal feeling is not worth reading. It is the capacity for making good or bad art a personal matter that makes a man a critic.
George Bernard Shaw
Do not mistake your objection to defeat for an objection to fighting, your objection to being a slave for an objection to slavery, your objection to not being as rich as your neighbor for an objection to poverty. The cowardly, the insubordinate, and the envious share your objections.
George Bernard Shaw
If 'Pygmalion' is not good enough for your friends with its own verbal music, their talent must be altogether extraordinary.
George Bernard Shaw
For nearly twenty years I have been a published author... But I have never yet seen a book of mine offered for sale in a shop window.
George Bernard Shaw
The most anxious man in a prison is the governor.
George Bernard Shaw
Spend all you have before you die, and do not outlive yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
Am reserving two tickets for you for my premiere. Come and bring a friend - if you have one. Telegram inviting Winston Churchill to opening night of Pygmalion. Churchill wired back: Impossible to be present for the first performance. Will attend the second - if there is one.
George Bernard Shaw
The truth sticks in our throats with all the sauces it is served with: it will never go down until we take it without any sauce at all.
George Bernard Shaw
Nothing remains beautiful and interesting except thought, because the thought is the life.
George Bernard Shaw
I do not waste my time writing pot-boilers: the pot must be boiled, and even my pot au feu has some chunks of fresh meat in it. ...I have no time to boil myself down and anyhow I could not do so and preserve all the necessary nutriment and the flavoring on which the digestibility depends.
George Bernard Shaw
The most intolerable pain is produced by prolonging the keenest pleasure.
George Bernard Shaw
Every fool believes what his teachers tell him, and calls his credulity science or morality as confidently as his father called it divine revelation.
George Bernard Shaw
I can't talk religion to a man with bodily hunger in his eyes.
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
The real pleasure of one's life is the devotion to a great objective of one's consideration.
George Bernard Shaw
Journalists are too poorly paid in this country to know anything that is fit for publication.
George Bernard Shaw
Where there is no knowledge ignorance calls itself science.
George Bernard Shaw
Every man over forty is a scoundrel.
George Bernard Shaw
