If you cannot attain knowledge without torturing a dog, you must do without knowledge.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Reasonable men adapt themselv...

Reasonable men adapt themselves to their environment; unreasonable men try to adapt their environment to themselves. Thus all progress is the result of the efforts of unreasonable men.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Instruction in sex is as impo...

Instruction in sex is as important as instruction in food; yet not only are our adolescents not taught the physiology of sex, but never warned that the strongest sexual attraction may exist between persons so incompatible in tastes and capacities that they could not endure living together for a week much less a lifetime.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

He who desires a lifetime of ...

He who desires a lifetime of happiness with a beautiful woman desires to enjoy the taste of wine by keeping his mouth always full of it.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

There is only one belief that...

There is only one belief that can rob death of its sting and the grave of its victory. For without that you cannot be born again.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

That is what all poets do: th...

That is what all poets do: they talk to themselves out loud; and the world overhears them. But it's horribly lonely not to hear someone else talk sometimes.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Atrocities are not less atroc...

Atrocities are not less atrocities when they occur in laboratories and are called medical research.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Science can never solve one problem without raising ten more problems.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Never forget that if you leave your law to judges and your religion to bishops, you will presently find yourself without either law or religion.

The confusing of marriage with morality has done more to destroy the conscience of the human race than any other single error.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Emotional excitement reaches ...

Emotional excitement reaches men through tea, tobacco, opium, whisky, and religion.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Women are not angels. They ar...

Women are not angels. They are as foolish as men in many ways; but they have had to devote themselves to life whilst men have had to devote themselves to death; and that makes a vital difference in male and female religion. Women have been forced to fear whilst men have been forced to dare: the heroism of a woman is to nurse and protect life, and of a man to destroy it and court death.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Money is the most important t...

Money is the most important thing in the world. It represents health, strength, honor, generosity, and beauty as conspicuously as the want of it represents illness, weakness, disgrace, meanness, and ugliness.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Vivisection is a social evil ...

Vivisection is a social evil because if it advances human knowledge, it does so at the expense of human character.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

An author who gives a manager...

An author who gives a manager or publisher any rights in his work except those immediately and specifically required for its publication or performance is for business purposes an imbecile.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Woman's happiness begins with...

Woman's happiness begins with her first love and ends about then

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

There is nothing so bad or so...

There is nothing so bad or so good that you will not find Englishmen doing it; but you will never find an Englishman in the wrong. He does everything on principle. He fights you on patriotic principles; he robs you on business principles; he enslaves you on imperial principles; he bullies you on manly principles; he supports his king on loyal principles and cuts off his king's head on republican principles.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Every Englishman believes tha...

Every Englishman believes that Handel now occupies an important position in heaven. If so, le bon Dieu must feel toward him very much as Louis Treize felt toward Richelieu.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

My schooling not only failed ...

My schooling not only failed to teach me what it professed to be teaching, but prevented me from being educated to an extent which infuriates me when I think of all I might have learned at home by myself.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances.
