Additional quotes by George Bernard Shaw

"Десять фунтов — большие деньги; у кого они заведутся, тот уже начинает жить с оглядкой, а это значит — конец счастью.
("Пигмалион", Б. Шоу)"

You see, really and truly, apart from the things anyone can pick up (the dressing and the proper way of speaking, and so on), the difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she’s treated. I shall always be a flower girl to Professor Higgins, because he always treats me as a flower girl, and always will; but I know I can be a lady to you, because you always treat me as a lady, and always will.
