"What we call education and culture is..." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw

“Bourgeois morality is largely a system of making cheap virtues a cloak for expensive vices.”

“Activity is the only road to knowledge.”

“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.”

“People learn more on their own rather than being force fed.”

“My own ideals for the university are those of a genuine democracy and serious scholarship. These two, indeed, seem to go together.”

“My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy.”

“In society, in the best institutions of men, it is easy to detect a certain precocity. When we should still be growing children, we are already little men. Give me a culture which imports much muck from the meadows, and deepens the soil,--not that which trusts to heating manures, and improved implements, and modes of culture only!”

“A nation, like a tree, does not thrive well till it is engraffed with a foreign stock.”

“It seems to me that education has a two-fold function to perform in the life of man and in society: the one is utility and the other is culture. Education must enable a man to become more efficient, to achieve with increasing facility the ligitimate goals of his life.”
