Oscar Wilde
No work of art ever puts forward views. Views belong to people who are not artists.
Oscar Wilde
Fashion is what one wears oneself. What is unfashionable is what other people wear.
Oscar Wilde
No man dies for what he knows to be true. Men die for what they want to be true, for what some terror in their hearts tells them is not true.
Oscar Wilde
One has a right to judge a man by the effect he has over his friends.
Oscar Wilde
Conversation should touch everything, but should concentrate itself on nothing.
Oscar Wilde
