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.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

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

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Every man to whom salvation is offered has an inalienable natural right to say 'No, thank you: I prefer to retain my full moral responsibility: it is not good for me to be able to load a scapegoat with my sins: I should be less careful how I committed them if I knew they would cost me nothing.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

In a hospital they throw you ...

In a hospital they throw you out into the street before you are half cured, but in a nursing home they don't let you out till you are dead.

I was a cannibal for twenty-five years. For the rest I have been a vegetarian.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

This is the true joy of life-...

This is the true joy of life-the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown to the scrap-heap; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish clod of ailments and grievances.

The world is populated in the main by people who should not exist

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

I lay my eternal curse on who...

I lay my eternal curse on whomsoever shall now or at any time hereafter make schoolbooks of my works and make me hated as Shakespeare is hated. My plays were not designed as instruments of torture. All the schools that lust after them get this answer, and will never get any other.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

It was from Handel that I learned that style consists in force of assertion.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Girls, like men, want to be p...

Girls, like men, want to be petted, pitied, and made much of, when they are diffident, in low spirits, or in unrequited love. These are services which the weak cannot render to the strong and which the strong will not render to the weak, except when there is also a difference of sex.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

It is the highest creatures w...

It is the highest creatures who take the longest to mature, and are the most helpless during their immaturity.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

It has taken me nearly twenty...

It has taken me nearly twenty years of studied self-restraint, aided by the natural decay of my faculties, to make myself dull enough to be accepted as a serious person by the British public; and I am not sure that I am not still regarded as a suspicious character in some quarters.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

I am the most spontaneous spe...

I am the most spontaneous speaker in the world because every word, every gesture, and every retort has been carefully rehearsed.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

What a man is depends on his ...

What a man is depends on his character; but what he does, and what we think of what he does, depends on his circumstances.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

It is not the number of years...

It is not the number of years we have behind us, but the number we have before us, that makes us careful and responsible and determined to find out the truth about everything.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

It is necessary for the welfare of society that genius should be privileged to utter sedition, to blaspheme, to outrage good taste, to corrupt the youthful mind, and generally to scandalize one's uncles.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

It is assumed that the woman ...

It is assumed that the woman must wait, motionless, until she is wooed. That is how the spider waits for the fly.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

As people get their opinions ...

As people get their opinions so largely from the newspapers they read... But the Press is not free, the newspapers are owned by rich men.
