Pygmalion

What is life but a series of inspired follies? The difficulty is to find them to do. Never lose a chance: it doesn't come every day.

The English have no respect for their language, and will not teach their children to speak it.

Time enough to think of the future when you haven't any future to think of.

Women upset everything. When you let them into your life, you find that the woman is driving at one thing and you're driving at another.

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ow-ow-oo-oo!!! I ain't dirty: I washed me face and hands afore I come, I did!

Walk! Not bloody likely. I am going in a taxi.

I aint such a mug as to put up my children to all I know myself.

It is impossible for an Englishman to open his mouth without making some other Englishman hate or despise him.

I heard your prayers Thank God it's all over!

You see, lots of the real people can't do it at all: they're such fools that they think style comes by nature to people in their position; and so they never learn. There's always something professional about doing a thing superlatively well.

I don't want to talk grammar, I want to talk like a lady.

I have to live for others and not for myself; that's middle-class morality.

He ain't a copper just look at 'is boots!

I wouldn't have ate it, only I'm too lady-like to take it out of my mouth.

I ask you, what am I? I'm one of the undeserving poor: thats what I am. Think of what that means to a man.

Independence? That's middle-class blasphemy. We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.
