"They tell me that So-and-So, who does..." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw

“Those who talk most about the blessings of marriage and the constancy of its vows are the very people who declare that if the chain were broken and the prisoners left free to choose, the whole social fabric would fly asunder. You cannot have the argument both ways. If the prisoner is happy, why lock him in? If he is not, why pretend that he is?”

“Capitalism justified itself and was adopted as an economic principle on the express ground that it provides selfish motives for doing good, and that human beings will do nothing except for selfish motives”

“Give a man health and a course to steer, and he'll never stop to trouble about whether he's happy or not.”

“I claim to be a conscientiously immoral writer.”

“For nearly twenty years I have been a published author... But I have never yet seen a book of mine offered for sale in a shop window.”

“The so-called paradoxes of an author, to which a reader takes exception, often exist not in the author's book at all, but rather in the reader's head.”

“But Sasha who after all had no English blood in her but was from Russia where the sunsets are longer, the dawns less sudden, and sentences often left unfinished from doubt as to how best to end them.”

“I drink much less than most people think, and I think much more than most people would believe. I am quite sincere about some of the things which people take very lightly, and almost insultingly unconcerned about some of the things which people take most seriously. In short, I am basically antisocial: certainly not to an alarming degree , but just more so than I appear to be.”

“I don't know how to put on an act; I always show myself for what I am, in whatever mood I'm in.”
