Oscar Wilde
They are always asking a writer why he does not write like somebody else, or a painter why he does not paint like somebody else, quite oblivious of the fact that if either of them did anything of the kind he would cease to be an artist.
Oscar Wilde
What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise for which we are later, in the fullness of time and understanding, very grateful for!

Oscar Wilde
Don't squander the gold of your days, listening to the tedious, trying to improve the hopeless failure, or giving away your life to the ignorant, the common, and the vulgar
Oscar Wilde
I have said to you to speak the truth is a painful thing. To be forced to tell lies is much worse.
Oscar Wilde
We live in the age of the overworked and the undereducated.
Oscar Wilde
For he who lives more lives than one more deaths than one must die.
Oscar Wilde
It is awfully hard work doing nothing.
Oscar Wilde
I must say to myself that I ruined myself, and that nobody great or small can be ruined except by his own hand. I am quite ready to say so. ... Terrible as was what the world did to me, what I did to myself was far more terrible still.
Oscar Wilde
