Children have a natural antipathy to books- handicraft should be the basis of education. Boys and girls should be taught to use their hands to make something, and they would be less apt to destroy and be mischievous.
Oscar Wilde
A temperament capable of receiving, through an imaginative medium, and under imaginative conditions, new and beautiful impressions, is the only temperament that can appreciate a work of art.

Oscar Wilde
I do not approve of anything which tampers with natural ignorance
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But... it is better to be good than to be ugly.
Oscar Wilde
I hate people who are not serious about meals. It is so shallow of them.
Oscar Wilde
They get up early, because they have so much to do, and go to bed early, because they have so little to think about.
Oscar Wilde
People say sometimes that Beauty is superficial. That may be so. But at least it is not so superficial as Thought is. To me, Beauty is the wonder of wonders. It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
Oscar Wilde
Youth! There is nothing like youth. The middle-aged are mortgaged to Life. The old are in Life's lumber-room. But youth is the Lord of Life. Youth has a kingdom waiting for it. Every one is born a king, and most people die in exile.
Oscar Wilde
