Love is a simple thing and a deep thing: it is an act of life and not an illusion. Art is an illusion.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Morality consists of suspecting other people of not being legally married.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The universal regard for money...

The universal regard for money is the one hopeful fact in our civilization. Money is the most important thing in the world. It represents health, strength, honor, generosity and beauty . . . . Not the least of its virtues is that it destroys basic people as certainly as it fortifies and dignifies noble people.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Hell is full of musical amateurs.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The technical history of modern harmony is a history of growth of toleration by the human ear of chords that at first sounded discordant and senseless to the main body of contemporary professional musicians.

Music is the brandy of the damned.

Patriotism is a pernicious, psychopathic form of idiocy.

Don't lose faith. Promise yourself that you will be a success story, and I promise you that all the forces of the universe will unite to come to your aid; you might not feel today or for a while, but the longer you wait the bigger the prize.

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

The open mind never acts: when...

The open mind never acts: when we have done our utmost to arrive at a reasonable conclusion, we still must close our minds for the moment with a snap, and act dogmatically on our conclusions.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

A man thinking or working is a...

A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

If all the Churches of Europe ...

If all the Churches of Europe closed their doors until the drums ceased rolling they would act as a most powerful reminder that though the glory of war is a famous and ancient glory, it is not the final glory of God.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Murder and capital punishment ...

Murder and capital punishment are not opposites that cancel one another, but similars that breed their kind. It is the deed that teaches not the name we give it.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Cruelty must be whitewashed by a moral excuse, and pretense of reluctance.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

In the Middle Ages people believed that the earth was flat, for which they had at least the evidence of their senses: we believe it to be round, not because as many as 1 percent of us could give physical reasons for so quaint a belief, but because modern science has convinced us that nothing that is obvious is true, and that everything that is magical, improbable, extraordinary, gigantic, microscopic, heartless, or outrageous is scientific.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

I dread success. To have succe...

I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like the state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Though I can make my extravaga...

Though I can make my extravaganzas appear credible, I cannot make the truth appear so.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

New opinions often appear first as jokes and fancies, then as blasphemies and treason, then as questions open to discussion, and finally as established truths.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Nothing makes a man so selfish...

Nothing makes a man so selfish as work.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The greatest thing in life is ...

The greatest thing in life is to die young - but delay it as long as possible.
