Oscar Wilde
I envy you going to Oxford: it is the most flower-like time of one's life. One sees the shadow of things in silver mirrors. Later on, one sees the Gorgon's head, and one suffers, because it does not turn one to stone.
Oscar Wilde
People fashion their God after their own understanding. They make their God first and worship him afterwards.
Oscar Wilde
In fact, the whole of Japan is a pure invention. There is no such country, there are no such people.... The Japanese people are ... simply a mode of style, an exquisite fancy of art.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
