George Bernard Shaw Quotes on Gender

5 quotes

  1. 'Perhaps woman's art is of woman's life a thing apart, 'tis man's whole existence; just as love is said to be the reverse - though it isn't.'

  2. ... the book about the bird and the bee is natural history. It's an awful lesson to mankind. You think that you are Ann's suitor; that you are the pursuer and she the pursued; that it is your part to woo, to persuade, to prevail, to overcome. Fool: it is you who are the pursued, the marked down quarry, the destined prey. You need not sit looking longingly at the bait through the wires of the trap: the door is open, and will remain so until it shuts behind you for ever.

  3. Every man over forty is a scoundrel.

  4. Women upset everything. When you let them into your life, you find that the woman is driving at one thing and you're driving at another.

  5. I wouldn't have ate it, only I'm too lady-like to take it out of my mouth.
