Pygmalion, important ideas, quotes and themes within the play.

"The English have no respect for their language, and will not teach their children to speak it. They spell it so abominably that no man can teach himself what it sounds like."

G.B. Shaw-Pygmalion Preface

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