伊斯兰教有很大的不同,被猛烈不能容忍。 可致电形神论变得很简单,在民间多神崇拜的荒谬的想法,就像欧洲的农民不仅崇拜圣徒和圣母为神,但将争取他们在丑陋的黑色小玩偶谁是处女信仰狂热他们对下村黑娃娃自己的教会。 阿拉伯人运行这个偶像崇拜到了极点排序... 们不带黑娃娃这一点,任何崇拜石头,看上去滑稽, 穆罕默德升起在他生命的危险和侮辱石头惊人,宣称只有一个上帝,真主,光荣,伟大的...并且将有没有关于宽容无稽之谈。 接受真主或你的人谁没有接受他的喉咙切断,谁去天堂派遣了您的地狱。 罕默德是一个伟大的基督教宗教势力想乔治福克斯或韦斯利 ,...。

回到玛士撒拉 (1921)
- 在线阅读全文
- i hear you say "why?" always "why?" you see things; and you say "why?" but i dream things that never were; and i say "why not?"
- the serpent, in pt. i : in the beginning, act i; this is often paraphrased slightly in a few different ways, including:
- you see things as they are and ask, "why?" i dream things as they never were and ask, "why not?"
- i worship you, eve. i must have something to worship. something quite different to myself, like you. there must be something greater than the snake.
- the serpent, in pt i : in the beginning
- everything is possible: everything. listen. i am old. i am the old serpent, older than adam, older than eve. i remember lilith , who came before adam and eve. i was her darling as i am yours. she was alone: there was no man with her. she saw death as you saw it when the fawn fell; and she knew then that she must find out how to renew herself and cast the skin like me. she had a mighty will: she strove and strove and willed and willed for more moons than there are leaves on all the trees of the garden. her pangs were terrible: her groans drove sleep from eden. she said it must never be again: that the burden of renewing life was past bearing: that it was too much for one. and when she cast the skin, lo! there was not one new lilith but two: one like herself, the other like adam. you were the one: adam was the other.
- the serpent, in pt. i, act i
- imagination is the beginning of creation. you imagine what you desire; you will what you imagine; and at last you create what you will.
- the serpent, in pt. i, act i
- conceive. that is the word that means both the beginning in imagination and the end in creation.
- the serpent, in pt. i, act i
- life must not cease. that comes before everything. it is silly to say you do not care. you do care. it is that care that will prompt your imagination; inflame your desires; make your will irresistible; and create out of nothing.
- the serpent, in pt. i, act i
- i am very subtle; but man is deeper in his thought than i am. the woman knows that there is no such thing as nothing: the man knows that there is no such day as tomorrow. i do well to worship them.
- the serpent, in pt. i, act i
- the serpent : the voice in the garden is your own voice.
adam : it is; and it is not. it is something greater than me: i am only a part of it.
eve : the voice does not tell me not to kill you. yet i do not want you to die before me. no voice is needed to make me feel that.
adam [ throwing his arm round her shoulder with an expression of anguish ]: oh no: that is plain without any voice. there is something that holds us together, something that has no word —
the serpent : love. love. love.
adam : that is too short a word for so long a thing.- the serpent, adam, and eve, in pt. i, act i
- i make no vows. i take my chance. ... it means that i fear certainty as you fear uncertainty. it means that nothing is certain but uncertainty. if i bind the future i bind my will. if i bind my will i strangle creation.
- the serpent, in pt. i, act i
- you can feel nothing but a torment, and believe nothing but a lie. you will not raise your head to look at all the miracles of life that surround you; but you will run ten miles to see a fight or a death.
- eve to cain, in pt. i, act ii
- your father is a fool skin deep; but you are a fool to your very marrow.
- eve to cain, in pt. i, act ii
- any sort of plain speaking is better than the nauseous sham good fellowship our democratic public men get up for shop use.
- franklyn, in pt. ii : the gospel of the brothers barnabas
- there are no secrets except the secrets that keep themselves.
- confucius, in pt. iii : the thing happens
- everything happens to everybody sooner or later if there is time enough.
- pt. v : as far as thought can reach
- silence is the perfect expression of scorn.
- pt. v
- the worst cliques are those which consist of one man.
- pt. v
- life is not meant to be easy, my child but take courage: it can be delightful.
- pt. v; see also the later phrasing of malcolm fraser , "life wasn't meant to be easy".
- the he-ancient: when a thing is funny, search it for a hidden truth
strephon: yes; and take all the fun out of it.- pt. v
- art is the magic mirror you make to reflect your invisible dreams in visible pictures. you use a glass mirror to see your face: you use works of art to see your soul. but we who are older use neither glass mirrors nor works of art. we have a direct sense of life. when you gain that you will put aside your mirrors and statues, your toys and your dolls.
- the she-ancient, in pt. v
- when the master has come to do everything through the slave, the slave becomes his master, since he cannot live without him.
- the he-ancient, in pt. v
- love is a simple thing and a deep thing: it is an act of life and not an illusion. art is an illusion.
- acis, in pt. v
- even a vortex is a vortex in something. you cant have a whirlpool without water; and you cant have a vortex without gas, or molecules or atoms or ions or electrons or something, not nothing.
- acis, in pt. v
- the body was the slave of the vortex; but the slave has become the master; and we must free ourselves from that tyranny. it is this stuff [ indicating her body ], this flesh and blood and bone and all the rest of it, that is intolerable. even prehistoric man dreamed of what he called an astral body, and asked who would deliver him from the body of this death.
- the she-ancient, in pt. v
- i am justified. for i chose wisdom and the knowledge of good and evil; and now there is no evil; and wisdom and good are one. it is enough.
- the serpent, in pt. v
- they have accepted the burden of eternal life. they have taken the agony from birth; and their life does not fail them even in the hour of their destruction.
- lilith , in pt. v
- i had patience with them for many ages: they tried me very sorely. they did terrible things: they embraced death, and said that eternal life was a fable. i stood amazed at the malice and destructiveness of the things i had made...
- lilith, in pt. v
- they have redeemed themselves from their vileness, and turned away from their sins. best of all, they are still not satisfied : the impulse i gave them in that day when i sundered myself in twain and launched man and woman on the earth still urges them: after passing a million goals they press on to the goal of redemption from the flesh, to the vortex freed from matter, to the whirlpool in pure intelligence that, when the world began, was a whirlpool in pure force.
- i can wait: waiting and patience mean nothing to the eternal. i gave the woman the greatest of gifts: curiosity. by that her seed has been saved from my wrath; for i also am curious; and i have waited always to see what they will do tomorrow.
- i say, let them dread, of all things, stagnation; for from the moment i, lilith, lose hope and faith in them, they are doomed. in that hope and faith i have let them live for a moment; and in that moment i have spared them many times. but mightier creatures than they have killed hope and faith, and perished from the earth; and i may not spare them for ever. i am lilith: i brought life into the whirlpool of force, and compelled my enemy, matter, to obey a living soul. but in enslaving life's enemy i made him life's master; for that is the end of all slavery; and now i shall see the slave set free and the enemy reconciled, the whirlpool become all life and no matter. and because these infants that call themselves ancients are reaching out towards that, i will have patience with them still; though i know well that when they attain it they shall become one with me and supersede me, and lilith will be only a legend and a lay that has lost its meaning. of life only is there no end; and though of its million starry mansions many are empty and many still unbuilt, and though its vast domain is as yet unbearably desert, my seed shall one day fill it and master its matter to its uttermost confines. and for what may be beyond, the eyesight of lilith is too short. it is enough that there is a beyond.

on the rocks (1933)
- on the rocks : a political comedy
- in this play a reference is made by a chief of police to the political necessity for killing people: a necessity so distressing to the statesmen and so terrifying to the common citizen that nobody except myself (as far as i know) has ventured to examine it directly on its own merits, although every government is obliged to practise it on a scale varying from the execution of a single murderer to the slaughter of millions of quite innocent persons. whilst assenting to these proceedings, and even acclaiming and celebrating them, we dare not tell ourselves what we are doing or why we are doing it; and so we call it justice or capital punishment or our duty to king and country or any other convenient verbal whitewash for what we instinctively recoil from as from a dirty job. these childish evasions are revolting. we must strip off the whitewash and find out what is really beneath it. extermination must be put on a scientific basis if it is ever to be carried out humanely and apologetically as well as thoroughly.
- preface; extermination
- ignoring the satirical elements of shaw's rhetoric, and that he is presenting many arguments of sometimes questionable sincerity for the "humane" execution of criminals , the last sentence here has sometimes been misquoted as if it as part of an argument for exterminations for the sake of eugenics , by preceding it with a selected portion of a statement later in the essay: "if we desire a certain type of civilization, we must exterminate the sort of people who do not fit into it ... extermination must be put on a scientific basis if it is ever to be carried out humanely and apologetically as well as thoroughly."
- in law we draw a line between the killing of human animals and non-human ones, setting the latter apart as brutes. this was founded on a general belief that humans have immortal souls and brutes none. nowadays more and more people are refusing to make this distinction. they may believe in the life everlasting and the life to come; but they make no distinction between man and brute, because some of them believe that brutes have souls, whilst others refuse to believe that the physical materializations and personifications of the life everlasting are themselves everlasting. in either case the mystic distinction between man and brute vanishes; and the murderer pleading that though a rabbit should be killed for being mischievous he himself should be spared because he has an immortal soul and a rabbit has none is as hopelessly out of date as a gentleman duellist pleading his clergy. when the necessity for killing a dangerous human being arises, as it still does daily, the only distinction we make between a man and a snared rabbit is that we very quaintly provide the man with a minister of religion to explain to him that we are not killing him at all, but only expediting his transfer to an eternity of bliss.
- preface; the sacredness of human life
- the extermination of what the exterminators call inferior races is as old as history. "stone dead hath no fellow" said cromwell when he tried to exterminate the irish. "the only good nigger is a dead nigger" say the americans of the ku-klux temperament. "hates any man the thing he would not kill?" said shylock naively. but we white men, as we absurdly call ourselves in spite of the testimony of our looking glasses, regard all differently colored folk as inferior species. ladies and gentlemen class rebellious laborers with vermin. the dominicans, the watchdogs of god, regarded the albigenses as the enemies of god, just as torquemada regarded the jews as the murderers of god. all that is an old story: what we are confronted with now is a growing perception that if we desire a certain type of civilization and culture we must exterminate the sort of people who do not fit into it. there is a difference between the shooting at sight of aboriginal natives in the back blocks of australia and the massacres of aristocrats in the terror which followed the foreign attacks on the french revolution. the australian gunman pots the aboriginal natives to satisfy his personal antipathy to a black man with uncut hair. but nobody in the french republic had this feeling about lavoisier , nor can any german nazi have felt that way about einstein . yet lavoisier was guillotined; and einstein has had to fly for his life from germany. it was silly to say that the republic had no use for chemists; and no nazi has stultified his party to the extent of saying that the new national socialist fascist state in germany has no use for mathematician-physicists. the proposition is that aristocrats (lavoisier's class) and jews (einstein's race) are unfit to enjoy the privilege of living in a modern society founded on definite principles of social welfare as distinguished from the old promiscuous aggregations crudely policed by chiefs who had no notion of social criticism and no time to invent it.
- preface; previous attempts miss the point
- there have been summits of civilization at which heretics like socrates , who was killed because he was wiser than his neighbors, have not been tortured, but ordered to kill themselves in the most painless manner known to their judges. but from that summit there was a speedy relapse into our present savagery.
- preface; cruelty's excuses
- i dislike cruelty, even cruelty to other people, and should therefore like to see all cruel people exterminated. but i should recoil with horror from a proposal to punish them. let me illustrate my attitude by a very famous, indeed far too famous, example of the popular conception of criminal law as a means of delivering up victims to the normal popular lust for cruelty which has been mortified by the restraint imposed on it by civilization. take the case of the extermination of jesus christ . no doubt there was a strong case for it. jesus was from the point of view of the high priest a heretic and an impostor. from the point of view of the merchants he was a rioter and a communist. from the roman imperialist point of view he was a traitor. from the commonsense point of view he was a dangerous madman. from the snobbish point of view, always a very influential one, he was a penniless vagrant. from the police point of view he was an obstructor of thoroughfares, a beggar, an associate of prostitutes, an apologist of sinners, and a disparager of judges; and his daily companions were tramps whom he had seduced into vagabondage from their regular trades. from the point of view of the pious he was a sabbath breaker, a denier of the efficacy of circumcision and the advocate of a strange rite of baptism, a gluttonous man and a winebibber. he was abhorrent to the medical profession as an unqualified practitioner who healed people by quackery and charged nothing for the treatment. he was not anti-christ: nobody had heard of such a power of darkness then; but he was startlingly anti-moses. he was against the priests, against the judiciary, against the military, against the city (he declared that it was impossible for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven), against all the interests, classes, principalities and powers, inviting everybody to abandon all these and follow him. by every argument, legal, political, religious, customary, and polite, he was the most complete enemy of the society of his time ever brought to the bar. he was guilty on every count of the indictment, and on many more that his accusers had not the wit to frame. if he was innocent then the whole world was guilty. to acquit him was to throw over civilization and all its institutions. history has borne out the case against him; for no state has ever constituted itself on his principles or made it possible to live according to his commandments: those states who have taken his name have taken it as an alias to enable them to persecute his followers more plausibly.
it is not surprising that under these circumstances, and in the absence of any defence, the jerusalem community and the roman government decided to exterminate jesus. they had just as much right to do so as to exterminate the two thieves who perished with him.- preface, leading case of jesus christ
- all government is cruel; for nothing is so cruel as impunity.
- pilate, as portrayed in preface, difference between reader and spectator
- i am no mere chance pile of flesh and bone: if i were only that, i should fall into corruption and dust before your eyes. i am the embodiment of a thought of god: i am the word made flesh: that is what holds me together standing before you in the image of god. ... the word is god. and god is within you. ... in so far as you know the truth you have it from my god, who is your heavenly father and mine. he has many names and his nature is manifold. ... it is by children who are wiser than their fathers, subjects who are wiser than their emperors, beggars and vagrants who are wiser than their priests, that men rise from being beasts of prey to believing in me and being saved. ... by their fruits ye shall know them. beware how you kill a thought that is new to you. for that thought may be the foundation of the kingdom of god on earth.
- jesus, as portrayed in preface, difference between reader and spectator
- the kingdom of god is striving to come. the empire that looks back in terror shall give way to the kingdom that looks forward with hope. terror drives men mad: hope and faith give them divine wisdom. the men whom you fill with fear will stick at no evil and perish in their sin: the men whom i fill with faith shall inherit the earth. i say to you cast out fear. speak no more vain things to me about the greatness of rome. ... you, standing for rome, are the universal coward: i, standing for the kingdom of god, have braved everything, lost everything, and won an eternal crown.
- jesus, as portrayed in preface, difference between reader and spectator
- law is blind without counsel. the counsel men agree with is vain: it is only the echo of their own voices. a million echoes will not help you to rule righteously. but he who does not fear you and shews you the other side is a pearl of the greatest price. slay me and you go blind to your damnation. the greatest of god's names is counsellor; and when your empire is dust and your name a byword among the nations the temples of the living god shall still ring with his praise as wonderful! counsellor! the everlasting father, the prince of peace.
- jesus, as portrayed in preface, difference between reader and spectator
- the last word remains with christ and handel ; and this must stand as the best defence of tolerance until a better man than i makes a better job of it.
put shortly and undramatically the case is that a civilization cannot progress without criticism, and must therefore, to save itself from stagnation and putrefaction, declare impunity for criticism. this means impunity not only for propositions which, however novel, seem interesting, statesmanlike, and respectable, but for propositions that shock the uncritical as obscene, seditious, blasphemous, heretical, and revolutionary.- preface, the sacredness of criticism

- credited to shaw in the lead in to the mockumentary csa: the confederate states of america (2004), and other recent works, but this or slight variants of it are also sometimes attributed to wc fields , charlie chaplin , and oscar wilde . it might be possibly derive from shaw's statement in john bull's other island (1907): " my way of joking is to tell the truth. it's the funniest joke in the world.

quotes about shaw
- shaw's plays are the price we pay for shaw's prefaces.
- james agate , diary, 1933 - 03-10
- shaw knows at any moment, on any subject, what he thinks, what you will think, what others have thought, what all this thinking entails; and he takes the most elaborate pains to bring these thoughts to light in a form which is by turns abstract and familiar, conciliatory and aggressive, obvious and inferential, comic and puzzling. in a word, shaw is perhaps the most consciously conscious mind that has ever thought — certainly the most conscious since rousseau ; which may be why both of them often create the same impression of insincerity amounting to charlatanism. yet it is by excess of honesty that shaw himself lent color to his representation as an inconsequential buffoon bent on monopolizing the spotlight.
- jacques barzun , in "bernard shaw in twilight" in the kenyon review (summer 1943)
- seeing clearly within himself and always able to dodge around the ends of any position, including his own, shaw assumed from the start the dual role of prophet and gadfly.
- jacques barzun, in "bernard shaw in twilight" in the kenyon review (summer 1943)
- shaw does not merely decorate a proposition, but makes his way from point to point through new and difficult territory.
- jacques barzun, in "bernard shaw in twilight" in the kenyon review (summer 1943)
- he never invested his whole moral capital in a man, a book, or a cause, but treasured up wisdom wherever it could be picked up, always with scrupulous acknowledgment ... his eclecticism saving him from the cycle of hope-disillusion-despair, his highest effectiveness was as a skirmisher in the daily battle for light and justice, as a critic of new doctrine and a refurbisher of old, as a voice of warning and encouragement. that his action has not been in vain, we can measure by how little shaw's iconoclasm stirs our blood; we no longer remember what he destroyed that was blocking our view.
- jacques barzun, in "bernard shaw in twilight" in the kenyon review (summer 1943)
- bernard shaw remains the only model we have of what the citizen of a democracy should be: an informed participant in all things we deem important to the society and the individual.
- jacques barzun "bernard shaw," in a jacques barzun reader : selections from his works (2002), p. 231
- as a teacher, as a propagandist, mr. shaw is no good at all, even in his own generation. but as a personality, he is immortal.
- max beerbohm , unsourced.
- the writers of our century delight in the weaknesses of the human condition; the only one capable of inventing heroes was bernard shaw.
- jorge luis borges , obra completa (1996), vol. iv, p. 487
- "god spare you, reader, of long prefaces". that was written by quevedo , who, in order not to commit an anachronism that would have been found out in the long run, never read shaw´s.
- jorge luis borges , obra completa (1996), vol. 二,第 400
- i never read a reply by shaw that did not leave me in better and not worse temper or frame of mind ; which did not seem to come out of inexhaustible fountains of fairmindedness and intellectual geniality; which did not savor somehow of that native largeness which the philosophers attributed to magnanimous man.
- gk chesterton , commenting on twenty years of debate with shaw on political, religious and other social issues.
- i found many men to whom i felt deeply grateful — especially guy de maupassant , jack london , and hl mencken — but the first man to whom i felt definitely related was george bernard shaw. this is a presumptuous or fatuous thing to mention, perhaps, but even so it must be mentioned. ... i myself, as a person, have been influenced by many writers and many things, and my writing has felt the impact of the writing of many writers, some relatively unknown and unimportant, some downright bad. but probably the greatest influence of them all when an influence is most effective — when the man being influenced is nowhere near being solid in his own right — has been the influence of the great tall man with the white beard, the lively eyes, the swift wit and the impish chuckle. ... i have been fascinated by it all, grateful for it all, grateful for the sheer majesty of the existence of ideas, stories, fables, and paper and ink and print and books to hold them all together for a man to take aside and examine alone. but the man i liked most and the man who seemed to remind me of myself — of what i really was and would surely become — was george bernard shaw.
