One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.
Oscar Wilde

The worst of it is that I am perpetually being punished for nothing this governor loves to punish, and he punishes by taking my books away from me. It's perfectly awful to let the mind grind itself away between the upper and nether millstones of regret and remorse without respite with books my life would be livable -- any life.

It is a vulgar error to suppose that America was ever discovered. It was merely detected.
Oscar Wilde
