Martyrdom is the only path to immortality that requires no talent whatsoever.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Any man who is not a communist at the age of twenty is a fool. Any man who is still a communist at the age of thirty is an even bigger fool.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

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 1763 quotes

I have my own soul. My own spark of divine fire.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

All industries are brought under the control of such people [film producers] by Capitalism. If the capitalists let themselves be seduced from their pursuit of profits to the enchantments of art, they would be bankrupt before they knew where they were. You cannot combine the pursuit of money with the pursuit of art.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Life on board a pleasure stea...

Life on board a pleasure steamer violates every moral and physical condition of healthy life except fresh air. . . . It is a guzzling, lounging, gambling, dog's life. The only alternative to excitement is irritability.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

I am sorry to have to introdu...

I am sorry to have to introduce the subject of Christmas. It is an indecent subject; a cruel, gluttonous subject; a drunken, disorderly subject; a wasteful, disastrous subject; a wicked, cadging, lying, filthy, blasphemous and demoralizing subject. Christmas is forced on a reluctant and disgusted nation by the shopkeepers and the press: on its own merits it would wither and shrivel in the fiery breath of universal hatred; and anyone who looked back to it would be turned into a pillar of greasy sausages.

Reviewing has one advantage over suicide: in suicide you take it out on yourself; in reviewing you take it out on other people.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

If a man is indolent, let him be poor. If he is drunken, let him be poor.... Also--somewhat inconsistently--blessed are the poor!

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

No doubt it is easy to demostrate that property will destroy society unless society destroys it.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Nothing is more dangerous than a poor doctor: not even a poor employer or a poor landlord.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

To disbelieve in marriage is ...

To disbelieve in marriage is easy: to love a married woman is easy; but to betray a comrade, to be disloyal to a host, to break the covenant of bread and salt, is impossible.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

I like flowers, I also like children, but I do not chop their heads off and keep them in bowls of water around the house.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

German and Spanish are accessible to foreigners: English is not accessible even to Englishmen.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

A tranquil woman can go on sewing longer than an angry man can go on fuming.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

What we are confronted with now is a growing perception that if we desire a certain type of civilization and culture we must exterminate the sort of people who do not fit into it.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Always strive to find out wha...

Always strive to find out what to do by thinking, without asking anybody. If you continually do this, you will soon act like a grown-up woman. For want of doing this, a very great number of grown-up people act like children.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

I've posed nude for a photographer in the manner of Rodin's Thinker, but I merely looked constipated.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

There is the eternal war between those who are in the world for what they can get out of it and those who are in the world to make it a better place for everybody to live in.

I like a bit of mongrel myself, whether it's a man or a dog.
