More quotes by George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
My method is to take the utmost trouble to find the right thing to say, and then to say it with the utmost levity.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
All great truths begin as blasphemies.
George Bernard Shaw
Love is a simple thing and a deep thing: it is an act of life and not an illusion. Art is an illusion.
George Bernard Shaw
Very nice sort of place, Oxford, I should think, for people that like that sort of place.
George Bernard Shaw
The test of good education is seeing how it behaves in a fight.
George Bernard Shaw
The great danger of conversion in all ages has been that when the religion of the high mind is offered to the lower mind, the lower mind, feeling its fascination without understanding it, and being incapable of rising to it, drags it down to its level by degrading it.
George Bernard Shaw
My own education has been entirely controversial: that is why I know what I am writing about and appear eccentric to dogmatically educated Old School Ties whose heads are stuffed with obsolete shibboleths.
George Bernard Shaw
No severity of punishment deters when detection is uncertain, as it always must be.
George Bernard Shaw
