If I own a large part of Scotland, I can turn the people off the land practically into the sea or across the sea. I can take women in child-bearing and throw them into the snow and leave them there. That has been done. I can do it for no better reason than I think it is better to shoot deer on the land than allow people to live on it.
More Quotes by George Bernard Shaw

A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.
You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.
Beauty is all very well at first sight; but who ever looks at it when it has been in the house three days?
Beauty is a short-lived tyranny.
Beware of the man who does not return your blow: he neither forgives you nor allows you to forgive yourself.
