George Bernard Shaw
Every child has a right to its own bent. . . . It has a right to find its own way and go its own way, whether that way seems wise or foolish to others, exactly as an adult has. It has a right to privacy as to its own doings and its own affairs as much as if it were its own father.
George Bernard Shaw
All great art and literature is propaganda.
George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw
I aint such a mug as to put up my children to all I know myself.
George Bernard Shaw
The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and about all time.
