"Literature is like any other trade; you..." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw

“All great art and literature is propaganda.”

“The right to know is like the right to live. It is fundamental and unconditional in its assumption that knowledge, like life, is a desirable thing.”

“The sound body is the product of the sound mind.”

“Indeed, I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.”

“Verses which do not teach men new and moving truths do not deserve to be read.”

“In an ancient and dead language, any recognition of living nature attracts us. These are such sentences as were written while grass grew and water ran. It is no small recommendation when a book will stand the test of mere unobstructed sunshine and daylight.”

“Let there be gall enough in thy ink, though thou write with a goose-pen, no matter.”

“My main reason for adopting literature as a profession was that, as the author is never seen by his clients, he need not dress respectably.”

“A pen is to me as a beak is to a hen.”
