As long as more people will pay admission to a theater to see a naked body than to see a naked brain, the drama will languish

Every unnatural activity of the brain is as mischievous as any unnatural activity of the body and that pressing people to learn things they do not want to know is as unwholesome and disastrous as feeding them on sawdust.

No diet will remove all the fat from your body because the brain is entirely fat. Without a brain, you might look good, but all you could do is run for public office.

Two percent of the people think; three percent of the people think they think; and ninety-five percent of the people would rather die than think.

I loathe bad theater and most theatre is very bad because it's repetitious, unexciting and, dangerously, it is sometimes praised for those things.

Better a leader of Fabianism than a chorus man in parliament.
