Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
The more we study Art, the less we care for Nature. What Art really reveals to us is Nature's lack of design, her curious crudities, her extraordinary monotony, her absolutely unfinished condition.
Oscar Wilde
The secret of life is in art.
Oscar Wilde
The last person who ever crossed me is dead under my bed!!!
Oscar Wilde
Memory is the diary that chronicles things that never have happened and couldn't possibly have happened.
