The joy in life is to be used for a purpose. I want to be used up when I die.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The art of government is the organization of idolatry. The bureaucracy consists of functionaries; the aristocracy, of idols; the democracy, of idolaters. The populace cannot understand the bureaucracy: it can only worship the national idols.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

We should find ourselves comm...

We should find ourselves committed to killing a great many people whom we now leave living, and to leave living a great many people whom we at present kill. We should have to get rid of all ideas about capital punishment.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The philosopher is Nature's pilot. And there you have our difference: to be in hell is to drift: to be in heaven is to steer.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

We call the one side [of huma...

We call the one side [of humanity] religion, and we call the other science. Religion is always right. ... Science is always wrong; it is the very artifice of men. Science can never solve one problem without raising ten more problems.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The British churchgoer prefers a severe preacher because he thinks a few home truths will do his neighbors no harm.

Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any books except the books that nobody can read.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

It's usually pointed out that...

It's usually pointed out that women are not fit for political power, and ought not to be trusted with a vote because they are politically ignorant, socially prejudiced, narrow-minded, and selfish. True enough, but precisely the same is true of men!

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

You know well I couldn't bear...

You know well I couldn't bear to live with a low common man after you two; and it's wicked and cruel of you to insult me by pretending I could.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

I believe in Michelangelo, Velasquez, and Rembrandt; in the might of design, the mystery of color, the redemption of all things by Beauty everlasting, and the message of Art that has made these hands blessed. Amen. Amen.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

All government is cruel; for ...

All government is cruel; for nothing is so cruel as impunity.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Jesus remains unshaken as the...

Jesus remains unshaken as the practical man; and we stand exposed as the fools, the blunderers, the unpractical visionaries.

The unconscious self is the real genius. Your breathing goes wrong the moment your conscious self meddles with it.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

A man is like a phonograph with half-a-dozen records. You soon get tired of them all; and yet you have to sit at table whilst he reels them off to every new visitor.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Unbounded hopes were placed o...

Unbounded hopes were placed on each successive extension of the electoral franchise, culminating in the enfranchisement of women.These hopes have been disappointed, because the voters, male and female, being politically untrained and uneducated, have (a) no grasp of constructive measures; (b) loathe taxation as such; (c) dislike being governed at all; and (d) dread and resent any extension of official interference as an encroachment on their personal liberty.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

My friend, when a man has any...

My friend, when a man has anything to tell in this world, the difficulty is not to make him tell it, but to prevent him from telling it too often.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Not everybody is strong enoug...

Not everybody is strong enough to endure life without an anesthetic. Drink probably averts more gross crime than it causes.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Oh, come! That boot is on the...

Oh, come! That boot is on the other leg. Why should you call me to account for eating decently? If I battened on the scorched corpses of animals, you might well ask me why I did that

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

We are all victims of the violence that animals suffer... their liberation is also our liberation.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

You practically do not use semicolons at all. This is a symptom of mental defectiveness, probably induced by camp life.
