Oh, I hate the cheap severity of abstract ethics!
Oscar Wilde
I can't stand people that do not take food seriously.
Oscar Wilde
It is only shallow people who require years to get rid of an emotion. A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.
Oscar Wilde
The critic has to educate the public the artist has to educate the critic.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

Art persists, it timelessly continues.
Oscar Wilde
Who is that man over there? I don't know him. What is he doing? Is he a conspirator? Have you searched him? Give him till tomorrow to confess, then hang him! -- hang him!
