George Bernard Shaw idézetek
„Soha nem másztam semmiféle szamárlétrán. Sikereimet pusztán a gravitációnak köszönhetem.”

George Bernard Shaw: Idézetek angolul
Act I
1890s, Caesar and Cleopatra (1898)
“I have to live for others and not for myself; that's middle-class morality.”
Act V
1910s, Pygmalion (1912)
“I hate singers, a miserable crew who think that music exists only in their own throats.”
1900s, Love Among the Artists (1900)
“The only time my education was interrupted was when I was in school.”
Widely attributed to Shaw from the 1970s onward, but not known to exist in his published works. It is in keeping with some of his sardonic statements about the purposes and effectiveness of schools. First known attribution in print is in Neil Postman and Charles Weingartner's Teaching as a Subversive Activity (1971), "G. B. Shaw's line that the only time his education was interrupted was when he was in school captures the sense of this alienation."
