Money is indeed the most important thing in the world; and all sound and successful personal and national morality should have this fact for its basis.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

I don't believe in morality ....

I don't believe in morality . I'm a disciple of Bernard Shaw.

Live in contact with dreams and you will get something of their charm: live in contact with facts and you will get something of their brutality. I wish I could find a country to live in where the facts were not brutal and the dreams not real.

This planet is obviously being used as an insane asylum by other planets.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

In truth , mankind cannot be ...

In truth , mankind cannot be saved from without, by schoolmasters or any other sort of masters: it can only be lamed and enslaved by them. It is said that if you wash a cat it will never again wash itself. This may or may not be true : what is certain is that if you teach a man anything he will never learn it; and if you cure him of a disease he will be unable to cure himself the next time it attacks him.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The conversion of a savage to Christianity is the conversion of Christianity to savagery.

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.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

We all go about longing for love: it is the first need of our natures, the loudest cry of our hearts.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

There are some experiences in life which should not be demanded twice from any man, and one of them is listening to the Brahms Requiem.

The educated man is a greater nuisance than the uneducated one.

Very nice sort of place, Oxford, I should think, for people that like that sort of place. They teach you to be a gentleman there. In the polytechnic they teach you to be an engineer or such like. See?

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

I talk democracy to these men...

I talk democracy to these men and women. I tell them that they have the vote, and that theirs is the kingdom and the power and the glory. I say to them You are supreme: exercise your power. They say, That's right: tell us what to do; and I tell them. I say Exercise our vote intelligently by voting for me. And they do. That's democracy; and a splendid thing it is too for putting the right men in the right place.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Geniuses are horrid, intolera...

Geniuses are horrid, intolerant, easily offended, sleeplessly self-conscious men, who expect their wives to be angels with no further business in life than to pet and worship their husbands. Even at the best they are not comfortable men to live with; and a perfect husband is one who is perfectly comfortable to live with.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Shall I turn up the light for...

Shall I turn up the light for you? No, give me deeper darkness. Money is not made in the light.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The one point on which all wo...

The one point on which all women are in furious secret rebellion against the existing law is the saddling of the right to a child with the obligation to become the servant of a man.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

There are only two classes in...

There are only two classes in good society in England: the equestrian classes and the neurotic classes.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

At present, intelligent peopl...

At present, intelligent people do not have their children vaccinated, nor does the law now compel them to. The result is not, as the Jennerians prophesied, the extermination of the human race by smallpox; on the contrary more people are now killed by vaccination than by smallpox.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

What you are to do without me...

What you are to do without me I cannot imagine.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

We must not stay as we are, doing always what was done last time, or we shall stick in the mud. Yet neither must we undertake a new world as catastrophic Utopians, and wreck our civilization in our hurry to mend it.
