We know now that the soul is ...

We know now that the soul is the body, and the body the soul. They tell us they are different because they want to persuade us that we can keep our souls if we let them make slaves of our bodies.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Literature is like any other ...

Literature is like any other trade; you will never sell anything unless you go to the right shop.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

That is the whole secret of successful fighting. Get your enemy at a disadvantage; and never, on any account, fight him on equal terms.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

You propound a complicated arithmetical problem: say cubing a number containing four digits. Give me a slate and half an hour's time, and I can produce a wrong answer.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

When you want to put somethin...

When you want to put something into your part that is not in the play, you must ask the author-or some other author-to lead up to the interpolation for you. Never forget that the effect of a line may depend not on its delivery, but on something said earlier in the play, either by somebody else or by yourself, and that if you change it, it may be necessary to change the whole first act as well.

Englishmen hate Liberty and Equality too much to understand them. But every Englishman loves a pedigree.

People always get tired of one another. I grow tired of myself whenever I am left alone for ten minutes, and I am certain that I am fonder of myself than anyone can be of another person.

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

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

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.

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

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

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.

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

The savage bows down to idols of wood and stone, the civilized man to idols of flesh and blood

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

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.

I occasionally swank a little because people like it; a modest man is such a nuisance.

Audacious ribald: your laughter will finish in hideous boredom before morning.

Our way of getting an army able to fight the German army is to declare war on Germany just as if we had such an army, and then trust to the appalling resultant peril and disaster to drive us into wholesale enlistment.
