Laws, religions, creeds, and systems of ethics, instead of making society better than its best unit, make it worse than its average unit, because they are never up to date (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
Everybody who does not live in a prostitute’s bed and on a diet of cocaine snow is called an ascetic nowadays (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
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 (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
Men are always thinking that they are going to do something grandly wicked to their enemies; but when it comes to the point, really bad men are just as rare as really good ones (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
It is not true that men can be divided into absolutely honest persons and absolutely dishonest ones. Our honesty varies with the strain put on it (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
What right has any human being to talk of bringing up a child? You do not bring up a tree or a plant. It brings itself up. You have to give it a fair chance by tilling the soil (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
It is not the number of years we have behind us, but the number we have before us, that makes us careful and responsible and determined to find out the truth about everything (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
You’re only a beginner; and what you think is love, and interest, and all that, is not real love at all: three quarters of it is only unsatisfied curiosity (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
I can’t control what life did to me, but I can control how I react. Therein lies the difference (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
The chief objection to playing wind instruments is that it prolongs the life of the player (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
My schooling did me a great deal of harm and no good whatever; it was simply dragging a child’s soul through the dirt (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)

I... must continue to strive for more knowledge and more power, though the new knowledge always contradicts the old and the new power is the destruction of the fools who misuse it (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
A third variety of drama... begins as tragedy with scraps of fun in it... and ends in comedy without mirth in it, the place of mirth being taken by a more or less bitter and critical irony (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
I must... warn my readers that my attacks are directed against themselves, not against my stage figures (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
It is always necessary to overstate a cast startlingly to make people sit up and listen to it, and to frighten them into acting on it (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
Nothing can save us from a perpetual headlong fall into a bottomless abyss but a solid footing of dogma; and we no sooner agree to that than we find that the only trustworthy dogma is that there is no dogma (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
Criminals do not die by the hands of the law. They die by the hands of other men (George Bernard Shaw Quotes)
