George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
Violence is the repartee of the illiterate.
George Bernard Shaw
We don't stop playing because we grow old we grow old because we stop playing.
George Bernard Shaw
Not everybody is strong enough to endure life without an anesthetic. Drink probably averts more gross crime than it causes.
George Bernard Shaw
Nobel Prize money is a life-belt thrown to a swimmer who has already reached the shore in safety.
George Bernard Shaw
Unless comedy touches me as well as amuses me, it leaves me with a sense of having wasted my evening. I go to the theatre to be moved to laughter, not to be tickled or bustled into it.
George Bernard Shaw
Would the world ever have been made if its maker had been afraid of making trouble?Making life means making trouble. There’s only one way of escaping trouble and that’s killing things.
George Bernard Shaw
It was from Handel that I learned that style consists in force of assertion.
George Bernard Shaw
