Mitex LeoI had no idea George Bernard Shaw supported the Jewish Holocaust¹ and actively denied the existence of the 1932–1933 Ukrainian famine. Growing up, he was always presented to me as a great figure.
Today, I learned about the Fabian Society², a think tank that includes members like Shaw, Tony Blair and Keir Starmer.

George Bernard Shaw Quotes (Author of Pygmalion) (page 13 of 30)
896 quotes from George Bernard Shaw: 'I don’t want to punish anybody, but there are an extraordinary number of people who I might want to kill.', 'The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them.', and 'If an imaginative boy has a sufficiently rich mother who has intelligence, personal grace, dignity of character without harshness, and a cultivated sense of the best art of her time to enable her to make her house beautiful, she sets a standard for him against which very few women can struggle, besides effecting for him a disengagement of his affections, his sense of beauty, and his idealism from his specifically sexual impulses.'
