Oscar Wilde
Memory... is the diary that we all carry about with us.
Oscar Wilde
Everyone is born a king, and most people die in exile.
Oscar Wilde
Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways.
Oscar Wilde
The moment that an artist takes notice of what other people want, and tries to supply the demand, he ceases to be an artist.
Oscar Wilde
The critic has to educate the public the artist has to educate the critic.
Oscar Wilde
