Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
A temperament capable of receiving, through an imaginative medium, and under imaginative conditions, new and beautiful impressions, is the only temperament that can appreciate a work of art.
Oscar Wilde
The job of the critic is to report to us his moods.
Oscar Wilde
The only proper intoxication is conversation.
Oscar Wilde
A man can be happy with any woman, as long as he does not love her.
