If only for a half hour a day...

If only for a half hour a day, a child should do something serviceable to the community

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

He never does a proper thing ...

He never does a proper thing without giving an improper reason for it.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

We are the masters at the mom...

We are the masters at the moment, and not only at the moment, but for a very long time to come.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Youth, which is forgiven ever...

Youth, which is forgiven everything, forgives itself nothing: age, which forgives itself everything, is forgiven nothing.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Marriage is to me apostasy, p...

Marriage is to me apostasy, profanation of the sanctuary of my soul, violation of my manhood, sale of my birthright, shameful surrender, ignominious capitulation, acceptance of defeat.

You cannot have power for good without having power for evil too. Even mother's milk nourishes murderers as well as heroes.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

That is the injustice of a wo...

That is the injustice of a woman's lot. A woman has to bring up her children; and that means to restrain them, to deny them things they want, to set them tasks, to punish them when they do wrong, to do all the unpleasant things. And then the father, who has nothing to do but pet them and spoil them, comes in when all her work is done and steals their affection from her.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Social questions are too sect...

Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce greatpoetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama; but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

I don't know what to say abou...

I don't know what to say about this book. The experience on which it is founded is so extraordinary, that an honest record of it should be preserved . . . But it would have driven me mad; and I am not sure that the author came out of it without a slight derangement.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Never repeat old grievances. ...

Never repeat old grievances.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

A woman whose face looked as ...

A woman whose face looked as if it had been made of sugar and someone had licked it.

When domestic servants are treated as human beings it is not worth while to keep them.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

She is immensely interested in him. She has even secret mischievous moments in which she wishes she could get him alone, on a desert island, away from all ties and with nobody else in the world to consider, and just drag him off his pedestal and see him making love like any common man.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

A healthy nation is as uncons...

A healthy nation is as unconscious of its nationality as a healthy man of his bones. But if you break a person's nationality it will think of nothing else but getting it set again.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The censorship method ... is ...

The censorship method ... is that of handing the job over to some frail and erring mortal man, and making him omnipotent on the assumption that his official status will make him infallible and omniscient.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

When I speak of The Case for ...

When I speak of The Case for Equality I mean human equality; and that, of course, can only mean one thing: it means equality of income.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The fact is that the intrinsi...

The fact is that the intrinsic worth of the book, play or whatever the author is trying to sell is the least, last factor in the the whole transaction.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The truth sticks in our throa...

The truth sticks in our throats with all the sauces it is served with: it will never go down until we take it without any sauce at all.

Dancing is a very crude attempt to get into the rhythm of life.

Decency cannot be discussed without indecency!
