"What is the use of straining after..." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw

“I claim to be a conscientiously immoral writer.”

“When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth.”

“In literature the ambition of the novice is to acquire the literary language; the struggle of the adept is to get rid of it.”

“You do not lament the loss of hair of one who has been beheaded.”

“A cynic is a kind of romantic who has aged.”

“What is any political campaign save a concerted effort to turn out a set of politicians who are admittedly bad and put in a set who are thought to be better. The former assumption, I believe is always sound; the latter is just as certainly false. For if experience teaches us anything at all it teaches us this: that a good politician, under democracy, is quite as unthinkable as an honest burglar.”

“Right is right though all condemn, and wrong is wrong though all approve.”

“Let us replace sentimentalism by realism and dare to uncover those simple and terrible laws which, be they seen or unseen, pervade and govern.”

“It is a magnificent feeling to recognize the unity of complex phenomena which appear to be things quite apart from the direct visible truth.”
