I object to publishers: the one service they have done me is to teach me to do without them. They combine commercial rascality with artistic touchiness and pettishness, without being either good business men or fine judges of literature.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

But whether the risks to whic...

But whether the risks to which liberty exposes us are moral or physical our right to liberty involves the right to run them. A man who is not free to risk his neck as an aviator or his soul as a heretic is not free at all; and the right to liberty begins, not at the age of 21 years but 21 seconds.

I have never admitted the right of an elderly author to alter the work of a young author, even when the young author happens to be his former self.

Thus, I blush to add, you can not be a philosopher and a good man, though you may be a philosopher and a great one.

While browsing in a second-hand bookshop one day, George Bernard Shaw was amused to find a copy of one of his own works which he himself had inscribed for a friend: "To ----, with esteem, George Bernard Shaw." He immediately purchased the book and returned it to the friend with a second inscription: "With renewed esteem, George Bernard Shaw.

Marriage is tolerable enough ...

Marriage is tolerable enough in its way if youre easygoing and dont expect too much from it. But it doesnt bear thinking about.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Of all human struggles there ...

Of all human struggles there is none so treacherous and remorseless as the struggle between the artist man and the mother woman.

It is doubtless wise, when a reform is introduced, to try to persuade the British public that it is not a reform at all; but appearances must be kept up to some extent at least.

I must ... warn my readers that my attacks are directed against themselves, not against my stage figures.

Taking all the round of professions and occupations, you will find that every man is the worse for being poor; and the doctor is a specially dangerous man when poor.

I find that the moment I let a woman make friends with me, she becomes jealous, exacting, suspicious, and a damned nuisance. I find that the moment I let myself make friends with a woman, I become selfish and tyrannical.

The notion that the colonel need be a better man than the private is as confused as the notion that the keystone need be stronger than the coping stone.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Only in the problem play is there any real drama, because drama is no mere setting up of the camera to nature: it is the presentation in parable of the conflict between Man's will and his environment: in a word, of problem.

Unless comedy touches me as well as amuses me, it leaves me with a sense of having wasted my evening. I go to the theatre to be moved to laughter, not to be tickled or bustled into it.

The conversion of Paul was no conversion at all; it was Paul who converted the religion that has raised one man above sin and death.

This is my father. Try what you can with him! He won't listen to me, because he remembers what a fool I was when I was a baby.

I am a sort of collector of religions: and the curious thing is that I find I can believe in them all.

Fashions are the only induced epidemics, proving that epidemics can be induced by tradesmen.

What is wrong with the prosaic Englishman is what is wrong with the prosaic men of all countries: stupidity.

If women were as fastidious as men, morally or physically, there would be an end of the race.
