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

You cannot have power for goo...

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

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.

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.

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

Love is an appetite which, li...

Love is an appetite which, like all other appetites, is destroyed for the moment by its gratification.

The worst cliques are those which consist of one man.

When God created man and woma...

When God created man and woman, he did not take a patent. That's why any imbecile has been able to do so ever since.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Idiots are always in favour of inequality of income (their only chance of eminence), and the really great in favour of equality.

The English have no respect for their language, and will not teach their children to speak it.

People must not be forced to adopt me as their favourite author, even for their own good.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

If you strike a child, take care that you strike it in anger, even at the risk of maiming it for life. A blow in cold blood neither can nor should be forgiven.

I have not wasted my life trifling with literary fools in taverns, as Johnson did, when he should have been shaking England with the thunder of his spirit

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

No man fully capable of his o...

No man fully capable of his own language ever masters another.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

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

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Don't think you can frighten ...

Don't think you can frighten me by telling me that I am alone. France is alone. God is alone. And the loneliness of God is His strength.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

If you do things merely becau...

If you do things merely because you think some other fool expects you to do them, and he expects you to do them because he thinks you expect him to expect you to do them, it will end in everybody doing what nobody wants to do, which is in my opinion a silly state of things.

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

The real Brahms is nothing more than a sentimental voluptuary

George Bernard Shaw 1763 quotes

Physically there is nothing t...

Physically there is nothing to distinguish human society from the farm-yard except that children are more troublesome and costly than chickens and calves and that men and women are not so completely enslaved as farm stock.

The fact that we can become accustomed to anything, however disgusting at first, makes it necessary to examine carefully everything we have become accustomed to.
