  1. A quotation from Shaw

    All censorships exist to prevent any one from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of censorships.

    George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish playwright and critic
    Mrs. Warren’s Profession, Preface (1893)

  6. #TIL the curate who wrote the #Hymn "Onward, Christian Soldiers" also wrote "The Book of the Were-Wolves"

    AND the "training up" of his lower class teenage fiancée into suitable curate marriage material was probably part of the inspiration for #GeorgeBernardShaw 's " #Pygmalion" (they were friends in later life)

    AND he taught classes with a pet bat on his shoulder

    AND he's the ancestor of comedian #JoshWiddicombe

  21. A quotation from Shaw

    HIGGINS: Would the world ever have been made if its maker had been afraid of making trouble? Making life means making trouble. There’s only one way of escaping trouble; and that’s killing things. Cowards, you notice, are always shrieking to have troublesome people killed.

    George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish playwright and critic
    Pygmalion, Act 5 (1913)

  25. Today a student was offended by the 1893 play “Mrs. Warren’s Profession.” I think #GeorgeBernardShaw would be pleased with himself.

  28. A quotation from George Bernard Shaw

    The secret of being miserable is to have leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not. The cure for it is occupation, because occupation means pre-occupation; and the pre-occupied person is neither happy nor unhappy, but simply alive and active, which is pleasanter than any happiness until you are tired of it.

    George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish playwright and critic
    Treatise on Parents and Children, “Children’s Happiness” (1914)
