Oscar Wilde
The good we get from art is not what we learn from it it is what we become through it.
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
I am afraid that we are beginning to be over-educated at least everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching -that is really what our enthusiasm for education has come to.
Oscar Wilde
In fact, I am never wrong.
Oscar Wilde
Wordsworth went to the Lakes, but he was never a lake poet. He found in stones the sermons he had already hidden there.
