22:18 “ If you’d known all I had to put up with in my life. You would say heaven would defend me for living that man’s life. However I don’t complain. it doesn’t matter if one dies poor which I’m not going to do by the way, but as long as our life is happy. And the ways to have a happy life is be to busy doing what you like all the time. Having no time left for you to consider weather your happy or not…” - George Bernard Shaw.

Love this channel and GBS, whom I share a birthday with. He's the author of my favorite saying when it comes to responding to trolls on the internet and elsewhere, "Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it." Miss hearing Mike Wallace's voice. Grew up hearing him on 60 minutes. (RIP Mike) 📺

I love him as a playwright, I now also love him as a person. I confess I knew little about his life. Thank you for this documentary, it has helped me to answer some questions I had concerning certain characters in his plays. Also, reading some of the comments here, I see that he was, as always, right.

Was he not a Eugenicist? It is said he supported Hitler and wrote of using Gas to exterminate people of no "use". Search George Bernard Shaw on Capital Punishment here.

I have very mixed feelings on George Bernard Shaw. First of all, he was a brilliant writer. He had a tremendous wit, but it also seems like he had no heart. His Social Darwinist views were also quite repulsive. Without a doubt, he was an enthralling man, but also a very flawed one.

Shaw was one of the founders of The Fabian Socialist Society . His ideals have come home to roost , and tear America apart. Glen Beck did a important docu show The Democratic Hydra about the Fabians . George Soros is a Fabian for example .

Everybody can name himself as they wish. There was an economist that worked to the rightist military dictatorship here in my country that said he was a fabianist. Soros, ah! The same the democrats in the US inow said to be leftists. The concept of left and right is lost nowadays. The fabianists were socialists that wanted to reform society by legislation, not revolution. Shaw was a socialist.

So much lacking, imho, in this biography. Privately he was very generous and kind to the villagers in Ayot St Lawrence where he lived. Yes, he was odd, but it was all an act---a very witty, brilliant act. Pygmalion (My Fair Lady) will always be my favorite.
