This book is an anthology of 217 quotes from George Bernard Shaw and 73 selected facts about George Bernard Shaw. George Bernard Shaw receives a Nobel Prize for Literature 1925. Between 1879 and 1883 George Bernard Shaw earned only £6 from his writings. His wife Charlotte resolved to have no children and abstained from sex completely throughout the marriage. As a music critic, George Bernard Shaw championed the German composer Richard Wagner. George Bernard Shaw is the only person to have been awarded both a Nobel Prize for Literature (1925) and an Oscar (1938) for work on transcribing Pygmalion (adaptation of his play of the same name). At the age of 16, George Bernard Shaw lived through the breakup of his parent’s marriage, as his mother left to live with her singing coach. Shaw stayed with his father. Shaw actually hated the George in his name, and used just Bernard Shaw. George Bernard Shaw was known to dislike aristocrats and nobleman. One time he received invitation from local lord stating: “Lord C. Will be home Tuesday between 4 and 6”. Bernard Shaw returned invitation and wrote down: “George Bernard Shaw too”. Shaw’s views on sex, marriage, and domestic bliss stemmed from his seduction, at 29, by Jenny Paterson, a woman he later described as “sexually insatiable.” George Bernard Shaw was a vegetarian. “I’m an atheist and I thank God for it.” “Lack of money is the root of all evil.” “Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.” “There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart’s desire. The other is to gain it.” “The English are not a very spiritual people, so they invented cricket to give them some idea of eternity.” “A book is like a child: it is easier to bring it into the world than to control it when it is launched there.” “A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.” “A fool’s brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.” “A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out.” “A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.” “A happy family is but an earlier heaven.” “A learned man is an idler who kills time by study.”
