I am but too conscious of the fact that we are born in an age when only the dull are treated seriously, and I live in terror of not being misunderstood. Don't degrade me into the position of giving you useful information. Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.

Oscar Wilde
If a man treats life artistically, his brain is his heart.
Oscar Wilde
Spontaneity is a meticulously prepared art
Oscar Wilde
And now, dear Mr. Worthing, I will not intrude any longer into a house of sorrow. I would merely beg you not to be too much bowed down by grief. What seem to us bitter trials are often blessings in disguise. This seems to me a blessing of an extremely obvious kind.
Oscar Wilde
Intellectual generalities are always interesting, but generalities in morals mean absolutely nothing.
Oscar Wilde
