Hate is the revenge of a coward intimidated.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Popular Christianity has for ...

Popular Christianity has for its emblem a gibbet, for its chief sensation a sanginary execution after torture, for its central mystery is an insane vengeance bought off by a trumpery expiation. But there is a nobler and profounder Christianity which affirms the sacred mystery of equality and forbids the glaring futility and folly of vengeance.

Life is a flame that is alway...

Life is a flame that is always burning itself out; but it catches fire again every time a child is born. Life is greater than death, and hope than despair.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

First really like is just a l...

Effectiveness of assertion is the alpha and omega of style.

Those who understand the steam engine and the electric telegraph spend their lives in trying to replace them with something better.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

What is really important in Man is the part of him that we do not understand. Of much of it we are not even conscious, just as we are not normally conscious of keeping up our circulation by our heart-pump, though if we neglect it we die.

Very nice sort of place, Oxford, I should think, for people that like that sort of place.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Deep knowledge is not knowled...

Deep knowledge is not knowledge of the thing itself, but knowledge of a thing like the thing. Then, you gain not one knowledge, but two knowledges. Of the thing. And of the original thing with is like the thing. Which is the barbarism of the privileged class.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Nobody can say a word against Greek: it stamps a man at once as an educated gentlemen.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

A moderately honest man with ...

A moderately honest man with a moderately faithful wife, moderate drinkers both, in a moderately healthy house: that is the true middle class unit.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Make me a beautiful word for ...

Make me a beautiful word for doing things tomorrow; for that surely is a great and blessed invention.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

When a bishop at the first sh...

When a bishop at the first shot abandons the worship of Christ and rallies his flock round the altar of Mars, he may be acting patriotically... but that does not justify him in pretending...that Christ is, in effect, Mars.

I find that socialism is often misunderstood by its least intelligent supporters and opponents to mean simply unrestrained indulgence of our natural propensity to heave bricks at respectable persons.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Never believe anything a writer tells you about himself. A man comes to believe in the end the lies he tells himself about himself.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The pianoforte is the most important of all musical instruments; its invention was to music what the invention of printing was to poetry.
