乔治·萧伯纳（George Bernard Shaw，1856-1950）爱尔兰戏剧家。生于爱尔兰首都都柏林，父亲做过法院公务员，后经商失败，酿酒成癖，母亲为此离家去伦敦教授音乐。受母亲熏陶，萧伯纳从小就爱好音乐和绘画。在都柏林美以美教会中学毕业后，因经济拮据未能继续深造，15岁便当了缮写员，后又任会计。1876年多居伦敦母亲处，为《明星报》写音乐评论，给《星期六评论》周报写剧评，并从事新闻工作。
萧伯纳的世界观比较复杂，他接受过柏格森、叔本华和尼采的哲学思想，又攻读过马克思的《资本论》。1884年他参加了“费边社”，主张用渐进、点滴的改良来改变资本主义制度，反对暴力革命。在艺术上，他接受易卜生影响，主张写社会问题，反对“为艺术而艺术”的主张。
萧伯纳的文学始于小说创作，但突出的成就是戏剧，“他的戏剧使他成为我们当代最迷人的作家”（颁奖辞）。1885至1949年近64个创作春秋中，他共完成了51个剧本。前期主要有《不愉快戏剧集》，包括《鳏夫的房产》（1892）、《荡子》（1893）和《华伦夫人的职业》（1894）等；《愉快的戏剧集》由《武器与人》（1894）、《康蒂妲》（1894）、《风云人物》（1895）和《难以预料》（1896）组成。第三个戏剧集名为《为清教徒写的戏剧》，其中有《魔鬼的门徒》（1897）、《凯撒和克莉奥佩屈拉》（1898）和《布拉斯庞德上尉的转变》（1897）。
进入20世纪之后，萧伯纳的创作进入高峰，发表了著名的剧本《人与超人》（1903）、《芭芭拉少校》（1905）、《伤心之家》（1913）、《圣女贞德》（1923）、《苹果车》（1929）和《真相毕露》（1932）、《突然出现的岛上愚人》（1936）等。其中《圣女贞德》获得空前的成功，被公认为他的最佳历史剧，是“诗人创作的最高峰”（颁奖辞）。
萧伯纳杰出的戏剧创作活动，不仅使他获得了“20世纪的莫里哀”之称，而且“因为他的小说诗歌文学作品具有理想主义和人道精神，其令人激励和讽刺往往蕴含着独特的诗意之美”，于1925年获得了诺贝尔文学奖。
《不愉快戏剧集》、《鳏夫的房产》、《荡子》、《华伦夫人的职业》、《愉快的戏剧集》、《武器与人》、《康蒂妲》、《风云人物》、《难以预料》、《为清教徒写的戏剧》、《魔鬼的门徒》、《凯撒和克莉奥佩屈拉》、《布拉斯庞德上尉的转变》、《人与超人》、《芭芭拉少校》、《伤心之家》、《圣女贞德》、《苹果车》、《真相毕露》、《突然出现的岛上愚人》等

The word morality, if we met it in the Bible, would surprise us as much as the word telephone or motor car.

St. Joan
Our natural dispositions may be good; but we have been badly brought up, and are full of anti-social personal ambitions and prejudices and snobberies. Had we not better teach our children to be better citizens than ourselves? We are not doing that at present. The Russians ARE. That is my last word. Think over it.

Vivie, Act II
There are no secrets better kept than the secrets everybody guesses.

Praed, Act IV
[edit] Caesar and Cleopatra (1898)
Hail, Sphinx: salutation from Julius Caesar! I have wandered in many lands, seeking the lost regions from which my birth into this world exiled me, and the company of creatures such as I myself. I have found flocks and pastures, men and cities, but no other Caesar, no air native to me, no man kindred to me, none who can do my day's deed, and think my night's thought.
My way hither was the way of destiny; for I am he of whose genius you are the symbol: part brute, part woman, and part God— nothing of man in me at all. Have I read your riddle, Sphinx?
THEODOTUS. Caesar: you are a stranger here, and not conversant with our laws. The kings and queens of Egypt may not marry except with their own royal blood. Ptolemy and Cleopatra are born king and consort just as they are born brother and sister.
BRITANNUS (shocked). Caesar: this is not proper.
THEODOTUS (outraged). How!
CAESAR (recovering his self-possession). Pardon him. Theodotus: he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
Again, there is the illusion of "increased command over Nature," meaning that cotton is cheap and that ten miles of country road on a bicycle have replaced four on foot. But even if man's increased command over Nature included any increased command over himself (the only sort of command relevant to his evolution into a higher being), the fact remains that it is only by running away from the increased command over Nature to country places where Nature is still in primitive command over Man that he can recover from the effects of the smoke, the stench, the foul air, the overcrowding, the racket, the ugliness, the dirt which the cheap cotton costs us.
[edit] Man and Superman (1903)
This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.
Epistle Dedicatory
The schoolboy who uses his Homer to throw at his fellow's head makes perhaps the safest and most rational use of him.
Epistle Dedicatory
…our political experiment of democracy, the last refuge of cheap misgovernment, will ruin us if our citizens are ill bred.
Epistle Dedicatory
Progress can do nothing but make the most of us all as we are…
Epistle Dedicatory
We must either breed political capacity or be ruined by Democracy, which was forced on us by the failure of the older alternatives. Yet if Despotism failed only for want of a capable benevolent despot, what chance has Democracy, which requires a whole population of capable voters.
Epistle Dedicatory
Bunyan's perception that righteousness is filthy rags, his scorn for Mr Legality in the village of Morality, his defiance of the Church as the supplanter of religion, his insistence on courage as the virtue of virtues, his estimate of the career of the conventionally respectable and sensible Worldly Wiseman as no better at bottom than the life and death of Mr Badman: all this, expressed by Bunyan in the terms of a tinker's theology, is what Nietzsche has expressed in terms of post-Darwinian, post-Schopenhaurian philosophy; Wagner in terms of polytheistic mythology; and Ibsen in terms of mid-XIX century Parisian dramaturgy.
Epistle Dedicatory
A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth.
Act I
The more things a man is ashamed of, the more respectable he is.
Act I
The true artist will let his wife starve, his children go barefoot, his mother drudge for his living at seventy, sooner than work at anything but his art.
Tanner, Act I
Since marriage began, the great artist has been known as a bad husband. But he is worse: he is a child-robber, a bloodsucker, a hypocrite and a cheat. Perish the race and wither a thousand women if only the sacrifice of them enable him to act Hamlet better, to paint a finer picture, to write a deeper poem, a greater play, a profounder philosophy!
Tanner, Act I
Marry Ann; and at the end of a week you'll find no more inspiration in her than in a plate of muffins.
Act II
... the book about 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.
Tanner, Act II
In short, the way to avoid misunderstanding is for everybody to lie and slander and insinuate and pretend as hard as they can. That is what obeying your mother comes to.
Tanner, Act II
As he comes along the drive from the house with Mrs Whitefield he is sedulously making himself agreeable and entertaining, and thereby placing on her slender wit a burden it is unable to bear.
Act II
You can be as romantic as you please about love, Hector; but you mustn't be romantic about money.
Violet, Act II
If we were reasoning, farsighted people, four fifths of us would go straight to the Guardians for relief, and knock the whole social system to pieces with most beneficial reconstructive results. The reason we do not do this is because we work like bees or ants, by instinct or habit, not reasoning about the matter at all. Therefore when a man comes along who can and does reason, and who, applying the Kantian test to his conduct, can truly say to us, If everybody did as I do, the world would be compelled to reform itself industrially, and abolish slavery and squalor, which exist only because everybody does as you do, let us honor that man and seriously consider the advisability of following his example.
Act III
A movement which is confined to philosophers and honest men can never exercise any real political influence: there are too few of them. Until a movement shows itself capable of spreading among brigands, it can never hope for a political majority.
Mendoza, Act III
Abnormal professions attract two classes: those who are not good enough for ordinary bourgeois life and those who are too good for it. We are dregs and scum, sir: the dregs very filthy, the scum very superior.
Mendoza, Act III
Hell is the home of honor, duty, justice, and the rest of the seven deadly virtues. All the wickedness on earth is done in their name: where else but in hell should they have their reward?
Don Juan, Act III
You may remember that on earth--though of course we never confessed it--the death of anyone we knew, even those we liked best, was always mingled with a certain satisfaction at being finally done with them.
Don Juan, Act III
Written over the gate here are the words "Leave every hope behind, ye who enter." Only think what a relief that is! For what is hope? A form of moral responsibility. Here there is no hope, and consequently no duty, no work, nothing to be gained by praying, nothing to be lost by doing what you like. Hell, in short, is a place where you have nothing to do but amuse yourself.
The Statue, Act III
I was a hypocrite; and it served me right to be sent to heaven.
The Statue, Act III
... for Englishmen never will be slaves: they are free to do whatever the Government and public opinion allows them to do.
The Devil, Act III
At every one of those concerts in England you will find rows of weary people who are there, not because they really like classical music, but because they think they ought to like it. Well, there is the same thing in heaven. A number of people sit there in glory, not because they are happy, but because they think they owe it to their position to be in heaven.
The Statue, Act III
The earth is a nursery in which men and women play at being heroes and heroines, saints and sinners; but they are dragged down from their fool's paradise by their bodies: hunger and cold and thirst, age and decay and disease, death above all, make them slaves of reality: thrice a day meals must be eaten and digested: thrice a century a new generation must be engendered: ages of faith, of romance, and of science are all driven at last to have but one prayer "Make me a healthy animal."
Don Juan, Act III
But Heaven cannot be described by metaphor. Thither I shall go presently, because there I hope to escape at last from lies and from the tedious, vulgar pursuit of happiness, to spend my eons in contemplation.
Don Juan, Act III
Senor Commander: I do not blame your disgust: a picture gallery is a dull place for a blind man. But even as you enjoy the contemplation of such romantic mirages as beauty and pleasure; so would I enjoy the contemplation of that which interests me above all things namely, Life: the force that ever strives to attain greater power of contemplating itself. What made this brain of mine, do you think? Not the need to move my limbs; for a rat with half my brains moves as well as I. Not merely the need to do, but the need to know what I do, lest in my blind efforts to live I should be slaying myself.
Don Juan, Act III
What a piece of work is man! says the poet. Yes: but what a blunderer! Here is the highest miracle of organization yet attained by life, the most intensely alive thing that exists, the most conscious of all the organisms; and yet, how wretched are his brains! Stupidity made sordid and cruel by the realities learnt from toil and poverty: Imagination resolved to starve sooner than face these realities, piling up illusions to hide them, and calling itself cleverness, genius! And each accusing the other of its own defect: Stupidity accusing Imagination of folly, and Imagination accusing Stupidity of ignorance: whereas, alas! Stupidity has all the knowledge, and Imagination all the intelligence.
Don Juan, Act III
And a pretty kettle of fish they make of it between them. Did I not say, when I was arranging that affair of Faust's, that all Man's reason has done for him is to make him beastlier than any beast. One splendid body is worth the brains of a hundred dyspeptic, flatulent philosophers.
The Devil, Act III
And is Man any the less destroying himself for all this boasted brain of his? Have you walked up and down upon the earth lately? I have; and I have examined Man's wonderful inventions. And I tell you that in the arts of life man invents nothing; but in the arts of death he outdoes Nature herself, and produces by chemistry and machinery all the slaughter of plague, pestilence and famine.
The peasant I tempt to-day eats and drinks what was eaten and drunk by the peasants of ten thousand years ago; and the house he lives in has not altered as much in a thousand centuries as the fashion of a lady's bonnet in a score of weeks.
But when he goes out to slay, he carries a marvel of mechanism that lets loose at the touch of his finger all the hidden molecular energies, and leaves the javelin, the arrow, the blowpipe of his fathers far behind.
The Devil, Act III
In the arts of peace Man is a bungler. I have seen his cotton factories and the like, with machinery that a greedy dog could have invented if it had wanted money instead of food. I know his clumsy typewriters and bungling locomotives and tedious bicycles: they are toys compared to the Maxim gun, the submarine torpedo boat. There is nothing in Man's industrial machinery but his greed and sloth: his heart is in his weapons. This marvellous force of Life of which you boast is a force of Death: Man measures his strength by his d
