wilde thing.

Oscar Wilde:

"The only thing that sustains one through life is the consciousness of the immense inferiority of everybody else."

"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."

"Seriousness is the only refuge of the shallow."

"Everything popular is wrong."

"Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same. "

"It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious."

"It is through art, and through art only, that we can realise our perfection."

"It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it."

"Its failings notwithstanding, there is much to be said in favor of journalism in that by giving us the opinion of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community."

"Life is too important to be taken seriously."

"The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius."

"There is no sin except stupidity."

"This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last." (yes, this was quoted by willy wonka)

"Woman begins by resisting a man's advances and ends by blocking his retreat. "


and my personal favorite for some reason -

"Please do not shoot the pianist. He is doing his best."
